| Summary: | This Special Issue gathers papers reporting research on various aspects of the use of satellites for monitoring polar oceans. It includes contributions presenting improvements in the retrieval of sea ice concentration, extent and area, and concerning error information; the interannual and decadal variability of sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration in the Barents Sea; validation and comparison of Arctic salinity products; melt pond retrieval applying a Linear Polar algorithm to Landsat data; the characterization of surface layer freshening from sea surface salinity and coloured detrital matter in the Kara and Laptev Seas; multi-sensor estimations of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Western Antarctic Peninsula; and enhanced techniques for detection and monitoring of glacier dynamics and iceberg paths. |
