NASA Team Sea Ice Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
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 candidate algorithms and the rationale for selecting the NASA Team algorithm are summarized in Swift and Cavalieri (1985).

Sea 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 کاملIterative Estimation of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Using SeaWinds Data
Polar sea ice extent is an important input to global climate models and is considered to be a sensitive indicator of climate change. An algorithm has previously been developed for sea ice extent detection using data from the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT). This paper discusses the extension of that algorithm to data from SeaWinds on QuikSCAT. Due to differences in the two instruments, several modif...

The United States National Ice Center (NIC) provides weekly ice analyses of the Arctic and Antarctic using information from ice reconnaissance, ship reports and high-resolution satellite imagery. In cloud-covered areas and regions lacking imagery, the higher-resolution sources are augmented by ice concentrations derived from Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Special Sensor Microwa...
متن کاملSea ice extent mapping using Ku band scatterometer data
Although spaceborne scatterometers such as the NASA scatterometer have inherently low spatial resolution, resolution enhancement techniques can be used to increase the utility of scatterometer data in monitoring sea-ice extent in the polar regions, a key parameter in the global climate. The resolution enhancement algorithm produces images of A and B, where A is the normalized radar backscatter ...
