Radar-equipped Cessna

Caption

Engineers from the University of Kansas School of Engineering and the Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) right now are flying this specially equipped Cessna 172 over the Black Hills of South Dakota. It's a new effort to use airborne radar to measure snow depths and predict how much melting water will fill area streams and rivers.
