- Description
The Twin Otter carries the ASIRAS radar instrument which – much as the CryoSat satellite does much higher up in its orbit about Earth – emits a series of radar pulses as the plane travels over the ice and snow surfaces and very carefully records the faint return echo from the surface. Airborne measurements acquired by the ASIRAS instrument are used to validate CryoSat data.
