ICESat-2 laser technology readiness level evolution

SPIE Proceedings, 2015
We report on the completion of the space qualification testing program for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) program. This paper describes the final performance results of the fully integrated (laser and electronics) flight laser system with an emphasis on the system design evolution from a ...

Ocean Subsurface Study from ICESat-2 Mission

2019 Photonics & Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Fall (PIERS - Fall), 2019
NASA has launched the ICESat-2 satellite in September 2018 with the primary purpose of monitoring changes in the elevation of ice at high latitudes. Fortunately, additional and unrealized information from the penetration of laser light below the ocean’s surface offers a new and exciting opportunity to study ocean biology over the open sea water and ...

Space laser transmitter development for ICESat-2 mission

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
The first NASA Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) was launched in January 2003 and placed into a nearpolar orbit whose primary mission was the global monitoring of the Earth's ice sheet mass balance. ICESat has accumulated over 1.8 B shots in space and provided a valuable dataset in the study of ice sheet dynamics over the past few ...

ICESat-2 Altimetry of the Open Ocean

2019
Abstract: The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) has been developed primarily to measure the height of the Earth’s ice at high spatial resolution but it also provides satellite ocean altimetry unlike any other. To achieve high resolution it uses the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), a photon-counting, multi-beam ...

Ice, Clouds and Land Elevation (ICESat-2) Mission

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
In recent years, the melting ice shelf and global warming headlines continue to remain prominent in the media circuits. The public and our science community want to know why and what can be done accurately to evaluate the changes and respond accordingly to the threat.

Estimates of wave attenuation from ICESat-2 observations

Energetic waves originating from the Southern Ocean can propagate great distances into the Antarctic ice pack. Along the way, they can significantly alter the composition of the ice whilst, at the same time, sea ice can significantly alter the characteristics of the wave field.
