Investigation of the effects of summer melt on the calculation of sea ice concentration using active and passive microwave data

The effects of ice surface melt on microwave signatures and errors in the calculation of sea ice concentration are examined, using active and passive microwave data sets from the Marginal Ice Zone Experiment aircraft flights in the Fram Strait region. Consideration is given to the possibility of usi...
