ICesat sea ice freeboard and sea surface height, Arctic

Category: 
Ocean

Sea ice freeboard heights and sea surface heights of the Arctic Ocean observed from ICESat altimetry
2003‐2009 are available in GRAVSOFT format grids of resolution 0.1°x0.2°.

NASA’s Ic,Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provided measurements of sea ice from January
2003 to October 2009. We have derived sea ice freeboard heights and sea surface heights for the Arctic
Ocean from ICESat data. The sea ice freeboard heights can be converted into thicknesses by
multiplying the freeboard heights by a factor of 4‐4.5.
