Validation of an AMSR2 Thin-Ice Thickness Algorithm for Global Sea-Ice-Covered Oceans Using Satellite and In Situ Observations

Validation of an AMSR2 Thin-Ice Thickness Algorithm for Global Sea-Ice-Covered Oceans Using Satellite and In Situ Observations

The detection of thin-ice thickness using satellite microwave radiometers is a strong tool for estimating sea-ice production in coastal polynyas, which leads to dense water formation driving ocean thermohaline circulation. Thin-ice areas are classified into two ice types: active frazil, comprising f...
