❄️ NEW #CryoSat paper ❄️ ❄️📏 Measuring snow depth on sea ice is very important, but a major source of uncertainty in satellite measurements 🛰️🛰️ How does dual frequency radar altimetry compare with other approaches to better estimate snow depth? 📰📊 "Results suggest the possibility of using polarimetric radar altimetry data from airborne or satellite instruments to estimate snow depth over sea ice" ✍️ Willatt et al. @CPOM_news feat. @JulienneStroeve @RobbieMallett @sthendric @micheltsamados & more... 🔗agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
