instruments that are towed 12 to 20 meters above the ice surface using helicopters from land or from RV Polarstern. Since 2009, AEM measurements are also conducted with the research aircraft Polar 5 operating from
ocean (transmittance). We perform various radiation measurements during our field campaigns using Polarstern, aircrafts, and stationary measurements. Our focus are observations that aim for better descriptions
Greenland continental shelf. To close this knowledge-gap, swath bathymetric data acquired by FS Polarstern over the last two decades is investigated to identify glacial landforms. This investigation will
multibeam swath echsounders also provide valuable information for biological and geological studies.
