Updates on the NASA Team 2 sea ice concentration and snow depth algorithms
Thorsten Marks, Don Cavalieri, Al Ivanoff, Ludovic BruckerNASA Goddard Space Flight Center
1 of 67
The NASA Team 2 approach finds the best solution from a set of pre-calculated sea ice concentration – atmosphere conditions
Sea ice concentration Uncertainty Error because of averaging
= 0 %= 1 - 2 %
>= 3 %
Orbits per day
Monthly distributions of uncertainty versus sea ice concentration
Atmosphere index over uncertainty
Snow depth on sea ice
With Operation IceBridge we, for the first time, have extensive validation data
The IceBridge plane has an FMCW radar that directly measures the snow depth on sea ice
200 AMSR-E pixels that have OIB data
