冰桥行动是美国宇航局为期六年的使命，是有史以来对地球极地冰进行的最大规模的空中调查。在冰桥期间收集的数据将帮助科学家弥合2003年至2009年在轨道上运行的美国宇航局冰、云和陆地高程卫星（ICESat）与计划于2015年底发射的ICESat-2之间极地观测的差距，使冰桥对于确保连续的一系列观测至关重要。冰桥行动正在利用机载仪器每年绘制一次北极和南极地区的地图，这是在对北极地区迅速变化的地区进行20年重复机载测量的基础上进行的。冰桥行动还产生了无法从太空测量的关键数据，如冰厚测量。第一次冰桥行动飞行于2009年春季在格陵兰上空进行，2009年秋季在南极上空进行。世界各地的其他小型空中调查也是NASA冰桥行动的一部分。
Operation IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever flown. Data collected during IceBridge will help scientists bridge the gap in polar observations between NASA's Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), in orbit from 2003 to 2009, and ICESat-2, planned for launch in late 2015, making IceBridge critical for ensuring a continuous series of observations. Operation IceBridge is using airborne instruments to map Arctic and Antarctic areas once a year, building on two decades of repeat airborne measurements of rapidly changing areas in the Arctic. Operation IceBridge is also producing critical data that cannot be measured from space such as ice thickness measurements. The first Operation IceBridge flights were conducted in boreal spring 2009 over Greenland and the boreal fall 2009 over Antarctica. Other smaller airborne surveys around the world are also part of NASA's Operation IceBridge campaign.
