The study will build on datasets campaign data collected on ground and from the air to address major validation topics for CryoSat land ice thickness products. This includes a detailed study error budgets for CryoSat over land ice and using the existing dataset to quantify the uncertainties in CryoSat products, a detailed study of retracker performances and a preliminary quantitative assessment of biases between CryoSat and IceSat products. In addition the study is expected to produce guidelines regarding reference land ice sites to be used for assessing new retrieval algorithms and CryoSat product improvements, and the design and objectives of future sea ice airborne and ground campaign activities to support validation efforts.
