Sea Ice Thickness derived from merging of L-Band radiometry and radar altimeter derived sea ice thickness

'''Short description:'''

Global sea ice thickness from merged L-Band radiometer (SMOS ) and radar altimeter (CryoSat-2, Sentinel-3A/B) observations during freezing season between October and April in the northern hemisphere and April to October in the southern hemisphere. The SMOS mission provides L-band observations and the ice thickness-dependency of brightness temperature enables to estimate the sea-ice thickness for thin ice regimes. Radar altimeters measure the height of the ice surface above the water level, which can be converted into sea ice thickness assuming hydrostatic equilibrium.
