Estimating small-scale snow depth and ice thickness from total freeboard for East Antarctic sea ice

Deriving the snow depth on Antarctic sea ice is a key factor in estimating sea-ice thickness distributions from space or airborne altimeters. Using a linear regression to model snow depth from observed ‘total freeboard’, or the snow/ice surface elevation relative to sea level is an efficient and pro...
