If the measurements from CryoSat-2 bear out this thinning theory, it would mean the ice is being lost more quickly.

如果来自克里赛特- 2的测量数值证实了薄化理论是正确的，就表明冰层融解正在加快。

The original CryoSat had been lost in 2005, when a rocket failure caused the satellite to crash into the sea during launch.

之前的CryoSat卫星在2005年发射失败，由于当时发射活动中发射火箭的问题而导致卫星坠入海中。

Cryosat, however, will see finer detail, and its "vision" will cover virtually all of the Arctic.

Cryosat's altimetry observations agree well with independent measures of sea-ice thickness derived from aircraft surveys and under-ice moorings.

Cryosat's radar instrument will make detailed maps of the ice that covers both the sea and land at the poles.
