Summary: | Repetitive surveillance by polar-orbiting meteorological satellites can monitor the distribution, variability, and behaviour of sea ice in both Arctic and Antarctic regions. This article reviews some of the applications of Nimbus satellite data to the polar regions. For a good review of applications of NOAA (formerly ESSA) satellite data to the polar regions, see Swithinbank (1969, 1970, 1971). |
