Fernerkundung des Meereises mit passiven und aktiven Mikrowellensensoren
The aim of this study is to reveal inconsistencies between the established sea ice retrieval algorithms as well as to develop and validate new algorithms. The main focus lies on two sensors, the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The project ARTIST was co...

The aim of this study is to reveal inconsistencies between the established sea ice retrieval algorithms as well as to develop and validate new algorithms. The main focus lies on two sensors, the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The project ARTIST was conducted in the environment of the Svalbard archipelago in spring 1998. The core activity was an extensive field study with airborne measurements simultaneously to satellite overpasses. Thereby two new aircraft microwave radiometers operating at 19 and 37 GHz were used. The ARTIST Sea Ice (ASI) algorithm is a method to estimate the sea ice concentration from 85 GHz SSM/I data. Different versions of the algorithm (ASI3/ASI4/ASI5) which were adapted to different reference data are being used in this study. The ASI results are being compared to the ice concentrations obtained using established retrieval algorithms (NT/NT2), ship observations in the central Arctic during summer 2001 (ARK 17/2), and the results of a model of the Storfjorden polynya.
