1 Development of sea ice climate data records W. Meier WOAP Workshop, Frascati, Italy, 18 April 2011
2 Passive microwave sea ice data 32+ year record able to track long-term trends Near-complete, daily fields (all-sky conditions) Consistent data source, algorithm, and processing methods high confidence in comparing sea ice conditions through the years But issues remain: Several algorithm products Limited quality/error information Little or no metadata September Monthly Mean Sea Ice Concentration
3 Timeline of passive microwave sensors for sea ice ESMR Nimbus-5 (single channel) SMMR Nimbus-7 F8 DMSP F11 F13 * F17 SSM/I SSMIS F18 F19, F20 JPSS MIS? NASA EOS Aqua AMSR-E JAXA GCOM-W AMSR2 AMSR3,4 *May 2009 Intercalibration of F13 and F17 sea ice products: first time done for near-real-time sea ice data

23 Other satellite-derived sea ice products Melt onset, duration Motion Age, multiyear fraction Also VIS/IR sea ice products
24 Sea ice age Proxy for ice thickness Other things being equal: Older ice = Thicker ice Developed by J. Maslanik and C. Fowler, U. Colorado Lagrangian tracking of ice parcels (input motion data) Passive microwave data, visible imagery, buoys 1979-present Similar approach used with buoys (I. Rigor, U. Wash.) Part of NOAA project (J. Key, PI) to transition to CDR-level product over next two years
