Monthly Arctic Sea Ice Signatures for use in Passive Microwave Algorithms

this report describes the generation of a monthly set of tie-points for the Arctic including all surface viewing SSM/I channels based on archived SSM/I data and NCEP reanalysis surface temperature fields from 1996 and 1997. It is intended for use in the algorithms developed and adapted within the co...

Description
Summary:this report describes the generation of a monthly set of tie-points for the Arctic including all surface viewing SSM/I channels based on archived SSM/I data and NCEP reanalysis surface temperature fields from 1996 and 1997. It is intended for use in the algorithms developed and adapted within the context of the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility (SAF) on Ocean and Sea Ice. However, it is anticipated that it will be useful in other applications as well.
