Arctic Sea Ice Summer Melt Feature Classification from Operation IceBridge High-Resolution Optical Imagery, July 2016 and July 2017 (NCEI Accession 0209246)

Description

The Arctic Sea Ice Summer Melt Feature Classification product is derived from high-resolution Digital Mapping System (DMS) imagery acquired during low-altitude NASA Operation IceBridge airborne surveys over Arctic sea ice. DMS images were acquired in July, 2016 and 2017. For each image, meaningful geophysical parameters have been derived: melt pond fraction, sea ice concentration, and pond color fraction. Melt pond fraction is the percentage of the sea ice surface that is ponded. Sea ice concentration is the percentage of ocean covered by sea ice. Pond color fraction is the partitioning of dark, medium, and light color ponds as a percentage of total ponded area.
