A multisensor approach to sea ice classification for the validation of DMSP-SSM/I passive microwave derived sea ice products
The validation of sea ice products derived from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) on board a DMSP platform is examined using data from the Landsat MSS and NOAA-AVHRR sensors. Image processing techniques for retrieving ice concentrations from each type of imagery are developed and results a...
