We created, for the first time, a map of sea ice production in the Bering Sea, based on thin-ice thickness data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometers (AMSR-E and AMSR2) with a heat flux calculation. We used the AMSR-E thin-ice algorithm developed for the Arctic Ocean with some modificatio...
