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 ...

Better constraints on the sea-ice state using global sea-ice data assimilation [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2012 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.

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 ...
