IceBridge snow radar data were acquired between March and May, 2009 - 2012 and 2014 - 2015. Snow depth statistics are computed for 10 km along-track segments, for each aircraft flight line. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0209232 Preview graphic PNG 0209232 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2020-03-30 publication LATITUDE LONGITUDE Snow thickness theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS GPS instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS model output theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS University of Maryland, College Park dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Arctic Ocean Baffin Bay Beaufort Sea Chukchi Sea Greenland Sea (including Iceland Sea and North Greenland Sea) Lincoln Sea Northwestern Passages place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > SNOW DEPTH theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
