CryoSat-Science-Report.pdf
This Science Report presents the latest progress in the cryospheric research related to the CryoSat mission, a three-year radar altimetry mission scheduled for launch in 2004, to determine variations in the thickness of the Earth's continental ice sheets and marine ice cover. Its primary objective is to test the prediction of thinning arctic ice due to global warming.
