On the assimilation of ice velocity and concentration data into large-scale sea ice models
Data assimilation into sea ice models designed for climate studies has started about 15 years ago. In most of the studies conducted so far, it is assumed that the improvement brought by the assimilation is straightforward. However, some studies suggest this might not be true. In order to elucidate this question and to find an appropriate way to further assimilate sea ice concentration and veloc...

متن کاملPolar Sea Ice Mapping Using SeaWinds Data
Microwave remote sensing provides an excellent means for mapping polar sea ice extent. In this study, a new algorithm for polar sea ice mapping is developed for use with the SeaWinds instrument. The approach utilizes a priori information within the framework of Bayes detection to produce sea ice extent maps. Statistical models for sea ice and ocean are represented in histograms which are filter...
متن کاملImproving Multiyear Sea Ice Concentration Estimates with Sea Ice Drift
Multiyear ice (MYI) concentration can be retrieved from passive or active microwave remote sensing observations. One of the algorithms that combines both observations is the Environmental Canada Ice Concentration Extractor (ECICE). However, factors such as ridging, snow wetness and metamorphism can cause significant changes in brightness temperature and backscatter, leading to misidentification...
متن کاملSea Ice Thickness Data : the Many Vs
During May 1988 a 1230-m ice thickness profile was drilled across a floe in Fram Strait. The probability density function of this data set corresponds closely to extensive ice draft measurements from submarines and the thickness distribution of floes sampled randomly in the area. The observed similarity is attributed to the topography of the pack ice in Fram Strait where each floe is composed o...
