Polynyas occur in remote, mostly inaccessible, places of the Arctic and Antarctic. Hence, remote sensing is essential for monitoring their dynamics. On regional scales, passive microwave (PM) radiometers provide useful information about their extent because they are available on a daily basis and do...
