Ice Production in Ross Ice Shelf Polynyas during 2017–2018 from Sentinel–1 SAR Images

High sea ice production (SIP) generates high-salinity water, thus, influencing the global thermohaline circulation. Estimation from passive microwave data and heat flux models have indicated that the Ross Ice Shelf polynya (RISP) may be the highest SIP region in the Southern Oceans. However, the coa...
