    • Description

      Sea-ice thickness and volume are essential climate variables that critically contribute to the characterisation of Earth's climate. Combining data from ESA's CryoSat satellite, which measures thick ice, and ESA's SMOS satellite, which measures thin ice, allows for the measurement of thickness for both first-year and multi-year ice. This allows for the calculation of sea-ice volume for the whole Northern hemisphere.
