An algorithm to detect sea ice leads by using AMSR-E passive microwave imagery
Leads are major sites of energy fluxes and brine releases at the air-ocean interface of sea-ice covered oceans. This study presents an algorithm to detect leads wider than 3 km in the entire Arctic Ocean. The algorithm detects 50 % of the lead area that was visible in optical MODIS satellite images. Passive microwave imagery from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer – Earth Observation Sy...
متن کاملAMSR - E Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document : Sea Ice Products
The AMSR-E sea ice standard level 3 products include sea ice concentration, sea ice temperature, and snow depth on sea ice. The AMSR-E standard sea ice concentration product is generated using the enhanced NASA Team (NT2) algorithm described by Markus and Cavalieri (2000), the snow depth is produced from the algorithm described by Markus and Cavalieri (1998) for both hemispheres, but excluding ...
متن کاملSea Ice Remote Sensing Using AMSR-E 89 GHz Channels
Recent progress in sea ice concentration remote sensing by satellite microwave radiometers has been stimulated by two developments: First, the new sensor AMSR-E offers spatial resolutions of approximately 6x4 km at 89 GHz, nearly three times the resolution of the standard sensor SSM/I at 85 GHz (15x13 km). Second, a new algorithm enables to estimate sea ice concentration from the channels near ...
متن کاملComparison between AMSR-E ASI sea-ice concentration product, MODIS and pseudo-ship observations of the Antarctic sea-ice edge
The performance of passive microwave sea-ice concentration products in the marginal ice zone and at the ice edge draws much attention in accuracy assessments. In this study, we generated 917 pseudo-ship observations from four Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images based on the Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) protocol to assess the quality of the Advanced M...
متن کاملAn assessment of sea ice thickness calculated from AMSR-E and MODIS for operational data assimilation
In this paper, sea ice thickness values are calculated for a region along the east coast of Canada using data from two sensors representative of those available for operational data assimilation. Data from the first sensor, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), is used to calculate the ice thickness using a heat balance equation. Relationships between the MODIS ice thicknes...
