Physicist Plans to Track Arctic Sea Ice With Cold War Radar
Original: A Physicist Has an Ingenious Plan to Track Arctic Sea Ice With a Cold War-Era Early Warning Radar
A physicist has proposed repurposing a Cold War-era early warning radar system to monitor Arctic sea ice. The idea would give scientists a new way to track ice loss in a remote region where observations are difficult, drawing interest for its inventive reuse of aging military infrastructure for climate science.
Why now: The novel idea of turning Cold War military technology into a climate monitoring tool has caught people's attention.
