The Airborne Glacier and Land Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN-A) is an airborne, interferometric synthetic aperture radar. GLISTIN-A operates in the Ka-band (35.6 GHz), allowing the instrument to penetrate the top layers of snow and limit atmospheric attenuation. GLISTIN-A provides measurements of glacial and land ice surface topography and elevation at a spatial resolution of around 3 m. GLISTIN-A is ideal for measuring ice sheet elevation and studying glacial topographic changes due to its high spatial resolution and accuracy.
