This poster demonstrates a range of tools, techniques, and capabilities that have been developed over the course of three Arctic projects supported through NSF and NASA during the IPY years. The main point of this poster is to convey the sense of complexity involved in direct measurements of sea ice. In particular, we focus on efforts to resolve a number of important differences between instruments and/or techniques; differences which have a profound impact on the long-term monitoring and quantification of sea ice mass balance. Several publications are published, under review, or in manuscript form with highlights from five forthcoming publications shown here.
