Improving Multiyear Sea Ice Concentration Estimates with Sea Ice Drift [PDF]
Multiyear ice (MYI) concentration can be retrieved from passive or active microwave remote sensing observations. One of the algorithms that combines both observations is the Environmental Canada Ice Concentration Extractor (ECICE).

Impact of assimilating sea ice concentration, sea ice thickness and snow depth in a coupled ocean–sea ice modelling system [PDF]
The accuracy of the initial state is very important for the quality of a forecast, and data assimilation is crucial for obtaining the best-possible initial state.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are being increasingly investigated as a means to extract sea ice concentration from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in an automated manner. This is often done using ice charts as training data.

DETAILED VALIDATION OF AMSR2 SEA ICE CONCENTRATION DATA USING MODIS DATA IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK [PDF]
Global warming is one of the most serious problems we are facing in the 21st Century. Sea ice has an important role of reflecting the solar radiation back into space.

Sea ice conditions in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) play a key role in the navigation of the Northwest Passage (NWP). Limited by observed sea ice thickness data, the research of temporal and spatial variation of sea ice in the NWP is insufficient.

Multi-year spatial distribution of Antarctic sea ice (1988 - 2017)
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 ...

Improving Arctic sea ice edge forecasts by assimilating high horizontal resolution sea ice concentration data into the US Navy's ice forecast systems [PDF]
This study presents the improvement in ice edge error within the US Navy's operational sea ice forecast systems gained by assimilating high horizontal resolution satellite-derived ice concentration products.

New methodology to estimate Arctic sea ice concentration from SMOS combining brightness temperature differences in a maximum-likelihood estimator [PDF]
Monitoring sea ice concentration is required for operational and climate studies in the Arctic Sea. Technologies used so far for estimating sea ice concentration have some limitations, for instance the impact of the atmosphere, the physical ...

Better constraints on the sea-ice state using global sea-ice data assimilation [PDF]
Short-term and decadal sea-ice prediction systems need a realistic initial state, generally obtained using ice–ocean model simulations with data assimilation. However, only sea-ice concentration and velocity data are currently assimilated.
