Elevation data derived from space-based altimeter measurements over landand sea-ice are key to understanding the Earth's ice mass balance. This importance is recognized by both NASA, as expressed in the laser altimeter GLAS on ICESat, and ESA, as expressed in the radar altimeter SIRAL on CryoSat. The JHU/APL Delay-Doppler Phase-monopulse (D2P) radar altimeter has shown its value as a scientific/calibration/validation instrument, and has participated in two airborne field campaigns sponsored by NASA and ESA to collect simultaneous radar and laser altimeter measurements over land and sea ice. These measurements are unique; they provide colocated, cross-calibrated, and high-precision altimetry data over a variety of geophysical ice conditions in two very different frequency regimes. In this paper, we give an overview of the CryoVEx field campaign in 2003 including basic system parameters, flight tracks, and sample waveforms from the airborne experiment. |
