Abstract
A ground penetrating radar (GPR) system for measuring snow thickness has been developed as a component of an operational airborne sea ice thickness sensor, Ice Probe. Ice Probe is a helicopter borne sensor utilizing an electromagnetic (EM) induction sensor and a laser profilometer to determine the combined thickness of ice and snow in real-time. With a GPR system to provide snow thickness information, Ice Probe can report ice and snow thicknesses separately.
