… Therefore, a number of research topics and programs are aiming to better understand and
monitor the ice sheets, by quantifying the mass loss of land ice and seeing how quickly it …

… Here we model the CryoSat-2 radar response over melt-pond-covered sea ice and perform
a set of simulations to characterize the EM range bias (Methods). The simulations confirm …

… To retrieve sea ice elevation and calculate freeboard from CryoSat-2, we employ a physical,
… grid cells in the CryoSat-2 data than in the ICESat-2, brought on by data loss due to clouds …

… We apply interferometric swath altimetry to CryoSat-2 data … of elevation change, exploiting
CryoSat’s high temporal repeat, to … decreased loss or even mass gain from 2016-17 onwards. …

… , convergence, and growth) must have been overwhelmed by processes that would tend
to lower the IS-2 freeboards (eg, snow ice formation, loss of snow into leads, divergence, and …

… Nevertheless, after combining the two sets of ice thickness data with sea ice extent data,
a dramatic loss in ice volume over the Central Arctic was documented (Kwok & Cunningham, …
