On January 6, the reporter learned from the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as "the Academy") that, using the airborne ice radar and three-dimensional laser radar, the researchers of the Academy successfully carried out glacier perspective detection in Gansu, and accurately identified typical glacier reserves. This is the first time that China has conducted a typical glacier reserve survey using airborne ice radar, and the related results provide key data support for water resource management in various watersheds of the Hexi Corridor, ecological environment protection in the Qilian Mountains, and regional sustainable development. Aviation ice radar is a type of radar installed on airplanes for perspective observation of glaciers. It emits low-frequency electromagnetic waves to the glacier, receives scattered echoes from the glacier surface and bottom bedrock, and processes and inverts the received information to obtain glacier thickness and storage information. Aviation ice radar is an important component of the "perspective Earth" multi circle perspective detection technology, and is also one of the key equipment supporting the construction of the "China perspective Earth airborne prototype system". Compared with traditional ground observation imaging technologies such as aerial photography cameras, 3D LiDAR, and synthetic aperture radar, aerial ice radar technology can penetrate the surface of glaciers to obtain internal and bottom information. From September to November 2024, a total of 13 flight missions were carried out in this survey, collecting 5.6 terabytes (TB) of raw data and obtaining digital elevation models of glacier surfaces, bedrock at the bottom of glaciers, glacier profiles, glacier reserves, three-dimensional perspective views of glaciers, and three typical glacier reserves. Glacier thickness measurements were also completed. It is reported that this survey is supported by the 2024 Gansu Province Typical Glacier Aerial Ice Radar Perspective Detection Project, with the Xinzhou 60 Remote Sensing Aircraft and the Certificate Remote Sensing Aircraft carrying out flight missions. The acceptance expert group gave high praise: the project has achieved for the first time the measurement of glacier ice thickness in complex terrain conditions in compound valleys, and the overall technology has reached the international leading level.
