🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY #CryoSat ! 🎂

The sun and moon are trying to overshadow us, but we won't be eclipsed.

🥳 14 years in orbit, today!
1⃣4⃣ years of monitoring Earth's ice ❄️ water 🌊 and even the seabed floor 🌋
🎁 The gift that keeps on giving
🍾 Here's to many more!

1⃣4⃣ years of SMOS-CryoSat sea ice thickness!

📢 A new version [v206] of the SMOS-CryoSat level 4 sea ice thickness product is now available

📊 Open call for data submission 📊

📢 The SIN’XS Data Submission portal is now open and available

🗓️ Submissions run from now until 30 June 2024

⁉️ What's SIN'XS? It's the Sea Ice thickness product iNter-comparison eXerciSe

🧊 It aims to define a reconciled estimate of…

❄️ NEW #CryoSat paper ❄️

❄️📏 Measuring snow depth on sea ice is very important, but a major source of uncertainty in satellite measurements

🛰️🛰️ How does dual frequency radar altimetry compare with other approaches to better estimate snow depth?

📰📊 'Results suggest the…

🌍🚀 I've started my Climate Change Initiative Fellowship with ESA Climate Office ESA Earth Observation @AWI. Looking forward to unraveling the thermodynamic and dynamic sea ice thickness change in long-term satellite observations @esa and climate models. More details linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Halfway through October 2023, the freeze-up of sea ice is slower (or simply just lower) than normal.

By 'normal', is meant the 30-year climatology of the same days in 1981-2010.

Congratulations to my longtime APECS Germany colleague Luisa von Albedyll for her successful phd-Defense today! 🥳🍻Looking forward to see each other more often in the months ahead!

Just in time for #LPS22 : How to improve the detection of thin #seaice (0-25 cm) with ESA's CryoSat mission and (potentially) retrieve its thickness too.

Arttu Jutila of AWI Media now with multi-sensor observations of freeboard, snow depth & sea ice thickness in the Arctic! ❄️🌨️📊🛩️

Since the 🛰️ record began, #Arctic sea ice 🌊🧊 has declined dramatically.

The Cryo-TEMPO Sea Ice product provides a 1️0️ year data record of radar freeboard, 🌊🧊 freeboard with associated uncertainties & state-of-the-art snow on 🌊🧊 information.

Have a look at this 3-min short video for an introduction to our key findings on the dynamic and thermodynamic sea ice thickness changes in the Arctic published in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene

Are you looking for Arctic, seasonal, 🔎 high-resolution🧊📏sea ice thickness observations?

We observed ice thickness during the research expedition MOSAiC Expedition and analyzed the thermodynamic and dynamic contributions.
