Measuring the temperature, reflectamce, and attenuation of ice/snow cover

Project Abstract: 
This project will measure ice/snow surface temperature (IST), ice/snow reflectance, and ice/snow thickness and attenuation for different ice/snow types for satellite "ground truth" and ice forecast modeling.
