STUDY ON ARCTIC MELT POND FRACTION RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM USING MODIS DATA
During spring and summer, melt ponds appear on the sea ice surface in the Arctic and play an important role in sea ice-albedo feedback effect. The melt pond fraction (MPF) can be retrieved using multi-band linear equations, but the calculation is complicated by the ill-conditioned reflectance matrix...
