Now GIS Compatible! The sea-ice data available below draw on more than 11 years of nearly uninterrupted, three-day radar snapshots of sea ice from the RADARSAT-1 satellite (1995-2012) or four years of Envisat data (2008-2012) of the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Small-scale kinematics and deformation data are processed by tracking sea ice on a high-resolution grid. Some original …
Sea Ice: Central Player in a Dynamic System Sea ice is the central player in a dynamic system that affects the planet’s oceans and climate. Sea ice is also a force to be reckoned with as polar waters open to human activity, such as shipping that is already taking place through the Northern Route along …
