Abstract

IceBird is a series of scientific, long-term airborne campaigns carried out by AWI to observe the variability and change of Arctic sea ice on seasonal, interannual, and decadal scales. The IceBird campaigns include a unique electromagnetic, laser, and radar instrument suite to obtain coincident measurements of sea ice and snow thickness and freeboard. IceBird CAN24 had a special focus on sea ice and terrestrial snow in the Canadian Arctic, and for the first time operated an additional imaging radar dedicated to the observation of snow on land and sea ice, the CryoSAR of the University of Waterloo. Between April 11 and May 6 thirteen survey flights were carried out between Inuvik, NWT, and Station Nord, Greenland. These covered a range of different sea ice regimes and terrestrial snow sites including over Devon Ice Cap. Flights included surveys of sites with extensive insitu measurements by numerous collaborators for validation of our airborne sea ice and snow retrievals.
