Description for Detection of Melt Ponds on Arctic Sea Ice with Optical Satellite Data
Paperback. This book demonstrates the potential of satellite-based optical sensors to detect melt ponds on Arctic sea ice. The authors describe the creation and analysis of the first Arctic-wide, multi-annual melt pond data set, covering the years 2000-2011. Series: Hamburg Studies on Maritime Affairs. Num Pages: 122 pages, 10 black & white illustrations, 35 colour illustrations, 7 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: 1QSR; PHVG; RBKC; RGW; RNPG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 156 x 8. Weight in Grams: 210.
The Arctic sea ice is characterized by profound changes caused by surface melting processes and the formation of melt ponds in summer. Melt ponds contribute to the ice-albedo feedback as they reduce the surface albedo of sea ice, and hence accelerate the decay of Arctic sea ice. To quantify the melting of the entire Arctic sea ice, satellite based observations are necessary. Due to different spectral properties of snow, ice, and water, theoretically, multi-spectral optical sensors are necessary for the analysis of these distinct surface types. This study demonstrates the potential of optical sensors to detect melt ponds on Arctic ... Read more
