Applications of Passive Microwave Satellite Data for Arctic Sea Ice Studies

Passive microwave satellite data provides all-weather, continuous observations of the polar ice cover. Multichannel radiometer data sets extending back to 1978 are readily available and distributed on CD-ROM media. Current algorithms can extract information on ice cover, concentration and type.
