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 …

Snow depth on sea ice is an Essential Climate Variable and a major source of uncertainty in
satellite altimetry‐derived sea ice thickness. During winter of the MOSAiC Expedition, the …

Snow and ice topography impact and are impacted by fluxes of mass, energy, and
momentum in Arctic sea ice. We measured the topography on approximately a 0.5 km2 …

Surface-based Ku-band radar altimetry investigations indicate that the radar signal is
typically backscattered from well above the snow–sea ice interface. However, this would …

Rapidly shrinking Arctic sea ice has had substantial impacts on the Earth system. Therefore,
reliably estimating the Arctic sea-ice thickness (SIT) using a combination of available …

Observations of sea ice surface temperature provide crucial information for studying Arctic
climate, particularly during winter. We examined 1 m resolution surface temperature maps …

In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat‐2 to align periodically with NASA's
ICESat‐2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE, which allows for near‐coincident …

Snow cover on sea ice poses a challenge for radar measurements as microwave
penetration into snow is not yet fully understood. In this study, the aim is to investigate …

In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat-2 to align periodically with NASA's
ICESat-2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE, which allows for near-coincident …

The Arctic Ocean's snow cover is crucial in moderating interactions between sea-ice and the
atmosphere, yet fully grasping its isotopic composition and the processes shaping it …
