Digital analysis of AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) thermal infrared band imagery has yielded sea ice surface temperatures which were used to calculate daily net surface heat loss and accompanying ice production and salt rejection from strips of thin ice within the Chukchi Polynya....
