After 🔟 years of surveying Earth's polar ice, Operation #IceBridge ✈️ wrapped up its final flights this week in Antarctica! 🎉

[ARCHIVED - NASA Ice @NASA_ICE]

Operation #IceBridge has been busy, flying missions over the East Antarctic ice sheet & sea ice from its base in Tasmania. Friday, the team flew over two #ICESat2 orbit paths w/ a focus on snow measurements. Here, snow❄️ blows over Cape Goodenough west of Holmes Glacier.

#EarthExpedition ACT-America targets summer greenhouse gases with flights on a C-130 and a B-200 King Air beginning this week out of Shreveport, LA. In the coming weeks, home base for the campaign will move to Lincoln, NE, then coastal Virginia. https://t.co/R180PU5sHO

Operation #IceBridge started its final week of the 2019 Arctic campaign with flights over Greenland's ice sheet, including the NE Greenland Ice Stream, the Disko Island ice cap and more... From Sunday's flight, three glaciers converge in a fjord off the Sukkertoppen Ice Cap

Doppler Aerosol Wind Lidar (DAWN) is an airborne instrument that uses pulsed lasers to detect the movement of atmospheric aerosols such as dust or sea salt. In detecting those movements, it can profile wind vector — both speed and direction. https://t.co/ZFg8ZmdUJP

We enjoyed connecting with you and your students today while we were flying in the Arctic! @NASA_Ice #IceBridge

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

Over almost a decade of studying glaciers from the air 🛩 , the Operation #IceBridge Alaska team has more than doubled the number of Alaskan glaciers being measured. They’ve discovered that Alaskan glaciers 🏔 are losing 75 gigatons of ice ❄️ every year.

Doppler Aerosol Wind Lidar (DAWN) uses laser pulses to take highly accurate measurements of vector wind speed & direction. In its upcoming airborne campaign, scientists will use DAWN to validate measurements from @ESA_EO ADM-Aeolus wind speed satellite. https://t.co/UsMq77mlu7
