Project: Operation IceBridge

April 19, 2016 to May 21, 2016

NOAA Lockheed WP-3D Orion N43RF is supporting NASA's Operation IceBridge, an airborne survey of polar ice. IceBridge’s readings of the thickness of sea ice and its snow cover have helped scientists improve forecasts for the summer melt season and have enhanced the understanding of variations in ice thickness distribution from year to year.
