Early summer melt pond fraction is predicted using late winter C-band backscatter of snow-covered first-year sea ice. Considering the association between melt pond fraction and winter were collected during the 2012 field campaign in Resolute Passage, Nunavut, Canada on relatively smooth first year s...
