On the value of long-term satellite passive microwave data sets for sea-ice/climate studies

Auteur :
PARKINSON, C. L.

Description :
With passive microwave data, global sea ice distributions can be mapped on a routine basis every few days, to a spatial resolution on the order of 30 km. The sea ice records generated so far from such satellite data have already been used, helping to quantify global sea ice distributions and their seasonal and interannual variations, and to illuminate possible ice/ocean and ice/atmosphere interactions.
