VALIDATION OF ASMR2 SEA ICE CONCENTRATION DATA USING MODIS DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Passive microwave radiometer AMSR2 was launched by JAXA in May 2012 on-board GCOM-W satellite. The antenna diameter of AMSR2 is 2.0 m which provide highest spatial resolution as a passive microwave radiometer in space.

Sea ice concentration estimates from ICESat-2 linear ice fraction – Part 1: Multi-sensor comparison of sea ice concentration products [PDF]
The CryosphereSea ice coverage is a key indicator of changes in polar and global climate. Observational estimates of the area and extent of sea ice are primarily derived from passive microwave surface emissions, which are used to develop gridded products of sea ice ...

The impact of melt ponds on summertime microwave brightness temperatures and sea-ice concentrations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Sea-ice concentrations derived from satellite microwave brightness temperatures are less accurate during summer. In the Arctic Ocean the lack of accuracy is primarily caused by melt ponds, but also by changes in the properties of snow and the sea-ice ...

Numerical simulation of ice loads on a ship in broken ice fields using an elastic ice model
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2020 The finite element method is used to simulate the navigation of an ice-area bulk carrier in broken ice fields. The ice material is defined as elastic, and the simulations are accomplished at four model speeds and three ice concentrations.

Responses of sub-ice platelet layer thickening rate and frazil-ice concentration to variations in ice-shelf water supercooling in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Persistent outflow of supercooled ice-shelf water (ISW) from beneath McMurdo Ice Shelf creates a rapidly growing sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) with a unique crystallographic structure under the sea ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.

Multi-year spatial distribution of Antarctic sea ice (1988 - 2017)
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2021 In this study, we used daily sea-ice concentration data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center from 1988 to 2017 to investigate the spatial distribution of Antarctic sea ice by calculating the annual mean sea-ice concentration and multi-year sea ice ...

REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF ICE CONCENTRATIONS IN ICE SLURRY FLOW
International Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration, 2010 An experimental study was performed to measure the ice concentration of an ice slurry pipe flow in real time. In the present work, we suggest a refractive index measurement method and compare it to freezing point and density measurement methods. To measure the refractive index of the solution, ice particles in the ice slurry should be completely ...
