Description
Summary:This figure comes from the CIMR Deliverable 70 (Scientific Benefit Case Study 1) which evaluates CIMR Support for Future Shipping and Off-Shore Industry Activities. Figure shows a case study focused on the last part of the North West Passage. SSM/I NASA Team 25km sea ice concentration (left) as a surrogate for future MetOP-SG MWI products compared to AMSR2 ASI 4km sea ice concentration (right) as a surrogate for CIMR. The exact sea ice cover in the M’Clure Strait is difficult to estimate at a resolution of 25km. With a CIMR like resolution the details can be much better resolved and a safe passage can be identified or alternative routes chosen (for example the Prince of Wales straight alternative in the right side image).
