Initial Evaluation of MODIS Sea Ice Observations
Sea ice data products generated with data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Terra spacecraft have been produced since 24 February 2000. Algorithms generate products that contain data on sea ice extent and...
