| Abstract | Estimating the sea ice thickness surrounding Antarctica is important for determining the ocean-atmosphere heat fluxes, the salt flux to the ocean and for verifying global climate models. A widespread method of estimating ice thickness in the Antarctic is the use of ice observation data. These data are collected by ship-based observers who estimate the sea ice and snow properties hourly as the ship transects the pack. This is a relatively low-cost method of collecting data on ice properties, and data can be collected in all weather conditions, both day and night. However, it is limited to the region of the pack immediately around the ship, and consequently to ice regimes that the ship transects. The largest uncertainty in estimating the total ice volume is from the estimates of the ridging properties (average ridge height and percent ridging). To help quantify this error, we compared the ice observation data to ridge distribution data collected using aerial photography. The number of ridges, and the volume of ice contained in these ridges are estimated using 505 aerial photographs. Using a ridge cut-off height of 0.4 m, 0.8 m and 1.0 m, the ridge frequency is 60 km/sup -1/, 12 km/sup -1/ and 6 km/sup -1/, respectively. Using the same cut-off heights, these ridges are estimated to add 0.7 m, 0.4 m, and 0.3 m to the area-averaged, undeformed ice thickness. Different ridging regimes are also compared to backscatter values obtained from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collected from RADARSAT-1. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
