Snow depth and ice thickness derived from SIMBA ice mass balance buoy data using an automated algorithm

An ice mass balance buoy (IMB) monitors the evolution of snow and ice cover on seas, ice caps and lakes through the measurement of various variables. The crucial measurement of snow and ice thickness has been achieved using acoustic sounders in early devices but a more recently developed IMB called...
