Eastern - Western Arctic Sea Ice Analysis, 1981
The purpose of this atlas is to provide operators and researchers with reliable weekly hemispheric ice analyses. Satellite data limitations and other difficulties involved in manually synthesizing various forms of ice data have evolved the following analysis procedures: (a) Conventional shore statio...
