OSTI ID:7304872
Recent Nimbus 5 microwave (ESMR) satellite studies have cast serious doubt on the validity of USN Polar Atlas pack ice data. This paper reports on a study using LANDSAT-1 and -2 multispectral imagery and DAPP thermal infrared imagery to study, quantify and delineate Beaufort Sea ice conditions prevailing at intermediate stages of new ice formation and at break-up. From these data it will then be possible to evaluate the relative operational hazards associated with specific areas, and to study year to year regional variations.
