Preliminary results are presented from the first validation of geophysical data products (ice concentration, snow thickness on sea ice (hs) and ice temperature (TI ) from the NASA EOS Aqua AMSRE sensor, in East Antarctica (in September–October 2003).
Although satellite passive-microwave remote sensing is the main source of global sea-ice … information, the data products have never been adequately validated for East Antarctic … conditions.
Antarctic coastal polynyas are important areas of high sea ice production and dense water … formation, and thus their detection including an estimate of thin ice thickness is essential.
Snow depth on sea ice plays a critical role in the heat exchange between ocean and … atmosphere because of its thermal insulation, which is almost an order of magnitude … greater than the thermal insulation of sea ice. Furthermore…
Thicknesses of sea ice and snow are key variables in ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions. Sea ice insulates the warm ocean from polar air and controls the heat exchange, which is … determined by its thickness. Also, sea ice thicknesses, together with sea ice extent…
