Airborne remote sensing of ponds using photogrammetry yields unprecented opportunities to study the hydraulic pond system using drones, helicopters or airplanes.
With regular grid surveys as flown over the MOSAiC expedition Central Observatory, the whole pond system of the floe can be resolved in four dimensions: horizontally, vertically and with time.
Pond size, pond water level and pond depth measured on the MOSAiC floe on 30 June 2020 using photogrammetry.
For more MOSAiC data and a comparison to other methods please visit EGU21-12860 (Linhard et al.) on Friday 30 April.
A publication about the study presented here is in preparation.
