Physicist Proposes Tracking 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 put forward a plan to repurpose a Cold War-era early warning radar system to monitor Arctic sea ice. The proposal suggests the aging military infrastructure could be given a second life as a scientific instrument, providing data on shrinking polar ice at a time when the Arctic is changing rapidly and satellite coverage has limits.

Why now: Interest in new, low-cost ways to monitor rapidly melting Arctic sea ice
