| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> The SIN’XS project is a three-year activity (May 2022 – May 2025) funded by ESA in the frame of the Polar Science Cluster. In light of rapid changes of the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice cover, continued and improved observations, understanding, and predictions of its thickness are particularly important for a range of fields from climate studies to offshore operations in ice. Systematic and accurate ice thickness observations are now available from several satellite missions. However, they differ in used processing algorithms and assumptions, temporal and spatial coverage and resolution, and applicability to stakeholder needs like modelling and assimilation, numerical weather prediction, and ship routing. These differences between products have so far complicated the consistent use of the various data products and there is little consensus about Arctic and Antarctic Sea ice volume variability and change. The Sea Ice-thickness product iNter-comparison eXerciSe (SIN’XS) will identify ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ... |
