Antarctic MIZ, Pack Ice and Polynya Maps from Passive Microwave Satellite Data
Abstract: Sea ice variability within the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and polynyas plays an important role for phytoplankton productivity and krill abundance. Therefore, mapping their spatial extent, seasonal and interannual variability is essential for understanding how current and future changes in the...
