Satellite observations of sea ice

Attention is given to techniques developed by NASA for the satellite acquisition of polar ice cover data, as well as for the spotlighting of selected ice cover areas in order to reveal detailed ice pack features. Of the visible, IR and microwave sensors available aboard satellites, only microwave un...
