Preferred term

GLISTIN-A  

Definition

  • The upgraded airborne Glacier and Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN-A) flew initial (8/6/12 and 8/13/12) and final (1/17/13 and 2/26/13) checkout flights on a DFRC G-III (C-20). - Initial assessments of the Ka-band single pass interferometer (which is an interface to UAVSAR) show system performance consistent with prediction - Instrument integration and flight process improvements have been implemented Glacier and Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN) will provide all-weather, high-resolution swath ice surface topography, not available through existing lidar (i.e. ICESAT-2) or radar (CryoSAT) sensors (en)
