Quantifying Sea Ice in the Southern Ocean Using ArcGIS
Clarkson University to evaluate two datasets- in situ (point) sea-ice thickness observations and weekly ice charts (polygon). The goal is to ascertain their quality for use in monitoring sea-ice thickness and mass balance changes in the Southern Ocean. Sea-ice thickness calculations from both datase...
