DETAILED VALIDATION OF AMSR2 SEA ICE CONCENTRATION DATA USING MODIS DATA IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK
Global warming is one of the most serious problems we are facing in the 21st Century. Sea ice has an important role of reflecting the solar radiation back into space. However, once sea ice started to melt, the ice-free water would absorb the solar radiation and amplify global warming in the Arctic r...
