An Improved Algorithm for the Retrieval of the Antarctic Sea Ice Freeboard and Thickness from ICESat-2 Altimeter Data

An Improved Algorithm for the Retrieval of the Antarctic Sea Ice Freeboard and Thickness from ICESat-2 Altimeter Data

ICESat-2 altimeter data could be used to estimate sea ice freeboard and thickness values with a higher measuring accuracy than that achievable with data provided by previous altimeter satellites. This study developed an improved algorithm considering variable lead proportions based on the lowest poi...
