A large part of my work for EuroClim is the processing
satellite data to derive sea ice parameters. The principal source of data
is the various passive microwave sensors that have been available on
satellite since the early 1970's but I also work on data from new active
microwave staellites from the 1990's.
The 3 types of product produced for EuroClim are listed below along
with a few example quicklooks. The actual datafiles are quite large so I
have not included them here. For access to these see the EuroClim official
pages.
Sea Ice Concentration (SIC)
I derive the SIC values using the Bootstrap algorithm developed by
Joey Comiso of NASA GSFC.
Monthly
Our monthly products are based on processing of daily scenes.
Quarterly
In EuroClim the quarter years are DJF, MAM, JJA and SON.
Annual
The annual product allowed me to generate some extra useful values
like days of ice cover and date of ice break-up.
Sea Ice Multi-Year (SIM)
This is a derivative of the Bootstrap algortihm used for SIC.
Sea Ice Type/(Thickness) (SIT)
