Remote and autonomous measurement of geophysical properties of Arctic snow covered sea ice - method development including satellite-based data collection

北极环境正在经历比地球上任何其他地方更快的气候变化。至关重要的是，科学家和政策制定者必须拥有高质量的数据，以作为他们得出结论和进行建模的基础，并在此基础上做出符合加拿大人最佳利益的合理决策。加拿大北部的长期观测系统是收集北极海洋冰冻圈这些高质量和广泛相关的气象学、海洋学和地球物理学数据的一个极具成本效益的方法。

The Arctic environment is experiencing climate change faster than anywhere else on Earth. It's critical that scientists and policy-makers have high-quality data on which to base their conclusions and modeling efforts, and on which sound decisions can be made in the best interest of Canadians. Long-term observing systems in Canada's north are an extremely cost-effective way to collect these high-quality and widely relevant meteorological, oceanographic and geophysical data in the Arctic marine cryosphere.
