The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) archives and manages data from the NASA Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). Here is a snapshot of the ICESat-2 mission and its data.
The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) offers an interactive tool called IceFlow to harmonize nearly 30 years of lidar data.
With support from NASA, the NSIDC DAAC now offers a solution to compare years of altimeter data in the form of an interactive tool called IceFlow.
In September 2018, NASA launched the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 ( ICESat-2) to help scientists investigate why and how much the frozen parts of our world are changing as a result of global warming. This week, nearly two years after
NSIDC researcher Julienne Stroeve returned to land from the Arctic expedition called Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) at the beginning of April. Upon her return, we sat down to discuss her trip, research, and how her expectations turned out. This is the second part of her MOSAiC story.
In September 2019, the research vessel Polarstern set off to drift with sea ice and study all aspects of the Arctic climate system for 13 months. NSIDC scientist Julienne Strove joined the international team of researchers on the coldest, darkest portion of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC). This is how she prepared.
