Microwave Radiation Characteristics of Glacial Ice in the AMSR-E NASA Team2 Algorithm

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...

AMSR - 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 ...

Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document ( Atbd ) for the the Amsr - E Sea Ice Algorithm

NASA Team Sea Ice Algorithm

In 1985 the NASA Sea Ice Algorithm Working Group (NSAWG) reviewed the state of passive microwave sea ice algorithm development for the purpose of recommending an algorithm for deriving sea ice products from the new DMSP SSM/I. The NSAWG chose three candidate algorithms that had been developed and tested, and selected one of these for processing the SSM/I data. A description of each of the three...

Use of AMSR-E microwave satellite data for land surface characteristics and snow cover variation

This data article contains data related to the research article entitled "Global land cover classification based on microwave polarization and gradient ratio (MPGR)" [1] and "Microwave polarization and gradient ratio (MPGR) for global land surface phenology" [2]. This data article presents land surface characteristics and snow cover variation information from sensors like EOS Advanced Microwave...
