Synthesis project with the possibility to extent to MSc project

Information of the local snow depth on sea ice is crucial to support space derived sea ice thickness maps, e.g. from European Space Agency's CryoSat mission.

Airborne radar measurements can in the right conditions provide information of snow depth by the presence of two reflecting surfaces (air/snow and snow/ice). Such measurements have been collected both in the Arctic and the Antarctic using airborne sensor ASIRAS. The aim of this project is to make a tool, which can identify and track these two surfaces and to estimate the snow depth from these. In certain areas available in situ data can be used to validate the results.
