Summary: | This climate data record of sea ice concentration (SIC) is obtained using passive microwave satellite data from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) over the polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic). The processing chain features: 1) dynamic tuning of tie-points and algorithms, 2) correction of atmospheric noise using a Radiative Transfer Model, 3) computation of per-pixel uncertainties, 4) an optimal hybrid sea ice concentration algorithm, and 5) pan-sharpening of the SIC fields using the near-90 GHz imagery channels. This dataset was generated by the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI+) Sea Ice Phase 1 project. This dataset is an enhanced-resolution version of the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility Global Sea Ice Concentration Climate Data Record (OSI SAF OSI-450-a CDR) over the period 1991-2020. ... |
