Description :
Climatologists have speculated that a spatially coherent pattern of high-latitude temperature trends could be an early indicator of climatic change. The sensitivity of sea ice to the temperature of the overlying air suggests the possibility that trends in Artic ice conditions may be useful proxy indicators of general climatic changes. In particular, analyses of passive microwave imagery can provide us with daily information on sea-ice extent, type, concentration, dynamics and melt onset.
