Abstract The European Space Agency's CryoSat‐2 satellite mission provides radar altimeter
data that are used to derive estimates of sea ice thickness and volume. These data are …

Uncertainty in snow properties impacts the accuracy of Arctic sea ice thickness estimates
from radar altimetry. On first-year sea ice (FYI), spatiotemporal variations in snow properties …

Satellite observations of sea ice freeboard are integral to the estimation of sea ice thickness.
It is commonly assumed that radar pulses from satellite‐mounted Ku‐band altimeters …

Satellite radar altimeters have improved our knowledge of Arctic sea ice thickness over the
past decade. The main sources of uncertainty in sea ice thickness retrievals are associated …

Satellite radar altimetry provides data to monitor winter Arctic sea-ice thickness variability on
interannual, basin-wide scales. When using this technique an assumption is made that the …

Abstract Knowledge of contemporaneous snow depth on Arctic sea ice is important both to
constrain the regional climatology and to improve the accuracy of satellite altimeter …

Snow depth on sea ice remains one of the largest uncertainties in sea ice thickness
retrievals from satellite altimetry. Here we outline an approach for deriving snow depth that …

We assess different methods and input parameters, namely snow depth, snow density and
ice density, used in freeboard-to-thickness conversion of Arctic sea ice. This conversion is …

We show the first results of a large‐scale survey of snow depth on Arctic sea ice from
NASA's Operation IceBridge snow radar system for the 2009 season and compare the data …

We present freeboard measurements from airborne laser scanner (ALS), the Airborne
Synthetic Aperture and Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS), and CryoSat‐2 …
