Helicopter Infrared Photometry [Grenfell, T.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.820

Summary
This is data for helicopter infrared photometry regarding aerial observations.
A crucial element of SHEBA is to extend process-oriented observations and
models to larger-scales. Local measurements provide data on mass changes,
optical properties, and structural properties of individual ice categories,
and ground surveys allowed us to define spatial variability within each
category. We then use larger scale aerial surveys to generate regional
estimates of the fractional area covered by these categories. Combining these
observations with process-oriented modeling results makes it possible to
generate aerially averaged estimates of such quantities as albedo, solar heat
input to the ice and ocean, ice concentration, pond fraction, and lateral melt
rates. For additional documentation, start with the Aerial.htm file contained
