The purpose of this application is to request authorization from the FCC for CReSIS (Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets) at the University of Kansas to preform test measurements of a aircraft-mounted radar system during 2-3 flights between September 15-30, 2017 and October 19-28, 2017 around Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The primary objectives of the project are to perform radar measurements as a part of NASA’s OIB (Operation ICE Bridge) program over the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice and ice sheets (NASA contract number NNX16AH54G). The radar data are will be used to determine ice thickness and to map both near surface and deep internal layers of ice sheets, as well as to map the snow-air and snow-ice interfaces for estimating the thickness of snow over land and sea ice.
