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 ...

Sea ice concentration inversion based on different Arctic sea ice types
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe ASI algorithm uses the same sea ice and seawater tie-points when inverting polar sea ice concentration (SIC), but this approach does not fully consider the differences between different polar sea regions and the impact of different 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 ...

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.
