Description

This data set contains Level-3 tomographic ice thickness measurements and ice thickness errors over areas of Greenland and Antarctica. Two of the data files additionally provide bed elevation measurements. The data were derived from measurements taken by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS) instrument and were collected as part of NASA Operation IceBridge funded campaigns.
