We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Ice Depth/Thickness Data Access and Tools
Data from NASA range from Arctic seasonal gridded winter sea ice thickness reports to radar-acquired ice height measurements. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to measure ice thickness for aquatic, cryospheric, climate, transportation safety, and other research.
