CliSAP B1 - Arctic and Permafrost
Due to the remoteness and hostile nature of polar regions, satellite observations are particularly useful for observing the Arctic and the state of its sea ice cover. Sea ice remote sensing can contribute to both climate research and practical applications, such as shipping. We use passive microwave measurements to estimate two important sea ice parameters from space: ice thickness (of thin ice) and snow thickness (on thick ice).
