High- resolution East Antarctic landfast sea-ice extent and variability from 2000 to 2008
This work presents the first time series of high spatio-temporal resolution (2 km, 20 day) maps of East Antarcticlandfast sea ice (10 W to 172 E), as well as a detailed study of the interannual variability of fast ice, from 2000to 2008. Fast-ice maps are generated from cloud-free MODIS composite ima...
