Towards ice-thickness inversion: an evaluation of global digital elevation models (DEMs) in the glacierized Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2022
. Accurate estimates of regional ice thickness, which are generally produced by ice-thickness inversion models, are crucial for assessments of available freshwater resources and sea level rise.

Estimating Arctic Sea Ice Thickness with CryoSat-2 Altimetry Data Using the Least Squares Adjustment Method

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Satellite altimeters can be used to derive long-term and large-scale sea ice thickness changes. Sea ice thickness retrieval is based on measurements of freeboard, and the conversion of freeboard to thickness requires knowledge of the snow depth and snow,

Ice thickness, volume and subglacial relief of Djankuat Glacier (Central Caucasus)

open access: yesЛëд 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]

open access: yesThe 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.

Improving the Met Office's Forecast Ocean Assimilation Model (FOAM) with the assimilation of satellite‐derived sea‐ice thickness data from CryoSat‐2 and SMOS in the Arctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2022
Derived from two complementary satellites, CryoSat‐2 and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), sea ice thickness (SIT) data are assimilated into the Met Office's global ocean–sea ice forecasting system, FOAM, using a 3D‐Var assimilation scheme ...

Crevasse-induced Rayleigh-wave azimuthal anisotropy on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Ice thickness measurements of Guliya ice cap, western Kunlun Mountains (Tibetan Plateau), China

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2018
Despite their high value and importance for various glaciological applications, detailed ice thickness measurements of alpine glaciers are still very limited. Knowledge of bedrock topography is essential for paleoglaciological studies. The Guliya ice cap

Bias-corrected estimates of glacier thickness in the Columbia River Basin, Canada

open access: yesJournal 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

Airborne electromagnetic sea ice thickness sounding in shallow, brackish water environments of the Caspian and Baltic Seas [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Sea-ice thickness measurement based on the dispersion of ice swell

open access: yesThe 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 ...
