Oceansat-2 OSCAT Antarctic daily sea ice extent and backscatter maps
The sea ice extent and normalized backscatter from the OSCAT scatterometer on Oceansat-2 result from the Bayesian discrimination of measured backscatter distances to prescribed ocean wind and sea ice geophysical model functions. The sea ice product contains the Bayesian sea ice probability and a pro...
