Abstract
From 2003 to 2008 DTU Space together with ESA and
several international partners carried out airborne and
ground field campaigns in preparation for CryoSat
validation; called CryoVEx: CryoSat Validation
Experiments covering the main ice caps in Greenland,
Canada and Svalbard and sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
The main goal of the airborne surveys was to acquire
coincident scanning laser and CryoSat type radar
elevation measurements of the surface; either sea ice or
land ice. Selected lines have been surveyed along with
detailed mapping of validation sites coordinated with insitu
field work and helicopter electromagnetic surveying.
This paper summarises the pre-launch campaigns and
presents some of the result from the coincident
measurement from airborne and ground observations.
