Annals of Glaciology, 2023 In the Himalaya, ice thickness data are limited, and field measurements are even scarcer. In this study, we employed the GlabTop model to estimate ice reserves in the Jhelum (1.9 ± 0.6 km3) and Drass (2.9 ± 0.9 km3) sub-basins of the Upper Indus Basin ...

Ice thickness, volume and subglacial relief of Djankuat Glacier (Central Caucasus)
Лëд и снег, 2015 In this paper we present and discuss results of radio-echo sounding and modelling of ice thickness of the Djankuat Glacier. This glacier is the reference one for the Central Caucasus and was earlier studied comprehensively, but direct ice thickness ...

A sea-ice thickness retrieval model for 1.4 GHz radiometry and application to airborne measurements over low salinity sea-ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 In preparation for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission, we investigated the potential of L-band (1.4 GHz) radiometry to measure sea-ice thickness.

Crevasse-induced Rayleigh-wave azimuthal anisotropy on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Crevasses and englacial fracture networks route meltwater from a glacier's surface to the subglacial drainage system and thus influence glacial hydraulics.

Bias-corrected estimates of glacier thickness in the Columbia River Basin, Canada
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Several global datasets of glacier thickness exist, but the number of observations from western Canada are sparse and spatially biased. To supplement these limited observations, we measured ice thickness with ice penetrating radar on five glaciers in the

Coherent radar ice thickness measurements over the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2001 We developed two 150‐MHz coherent radar depth sounders for ice thickness measurements over the Greenland ice sheet. We developed one of these using connectorized components and the other using radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). Both systems are designed to use pulse compression techniques and coherent integration to obtain the high ...

Airborne electromagnetic sea ice thickness sounding in shallow, brackish water environments of the Caspian and Baltic Seas [PDF]
, 2006 Ice engineering projects often rely on the knowledge of ice thickness in shallow, brackish water like in the Baltic and Caspian Seas. By means of field data and model results, the paper shows that helicopter-borne electromagnetic induction measurements ...

Application of GNSS Interferometric Reflectometry for the Estimation of Lake Ice Thickness
Remote Sensing, 2020 Lake ice thickness is a sensitive indicator of climate change largely through its dependency on near-surface air temperature and on-ice snow mass (depth and density). Monitoring of the seasonal variations and trends in ice thickness is also important for

Interannual variability in Transpolar Drift summer sea ice thickness and potential impact of Atlantification [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions of the dynamic and variable ice cover with atmosphere and ocean. Most of the sea ice exiting the Arctic Ocean does so through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements of ...

Sea-ice thickness measurement based on the dispersion of ice swell
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 The dispersion of flexural waves propagating in the Arctic sea ice cover is exploited in order to locally measure the ice thickness. The observed dispersion, for waves filtered in the 4–20 s period interval, at up to 4 broad-band seismometers deployed in Spring 2007 near the North Pole, is compared to a parameterized model that accounts for a complex ...
