EUMETSAT Sea Ice products?
« on: August 24, 2013, 12:07:51 PM »
Hello,

I did not see Eumetsat sea ice products in the Daily Graphs page, I think some of them should add value:

http://www.osi-saf.org/

http://saf.met.no/p/ice/nh/edge/edge.shtml
http://saf.met.no/p/ice/nh/conc/conc.shtml

I think ASCAT should be used more in daily analysis, after all it images through clouds, albeit at a rather low resolution.

edit: here's the 12.5km product from today from KNMI: http://www.knmi.nl/scatterometer/ascat_osi_12_prod/ice_maps/N2013-08-24.gif

and main page:

I gave the same link one hour and 5 min. earlier in "the canary in the coal mine". Just curious, How did you happen on the link? I did because Jim Hunt caught my mistake about DMI concentration. You make a mistake, then you learn something. I love their quicklooks pages where you can dive through years worth of thumbnails!

Anyway, assuming you did not get the link from my posting, it is curious that we found this data mine almost simultaneously.

Thanks Nukefix,

ASCAT is also available from here:
http://manati.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/ascat_images/ice_image/
Look for files of the name form "msfa-NHe-a-2013162.sir.gif". The images of a good size and were easily able to show the Beaufort fracturing over winter. I find they're best through the winter tracking long term changes in multi-year ice (MYI).

There's also an archive of QuikScat here:
ftp://podaac-ftp.jpl.nasa.gov/allData/quikscat/L3/byu_scp/sigma0browse/images/arctic
And processed to determine FYI/MYI masses.
ftp://podaac-ftp.jpl.nasa.gov/SeaIce/quikscat/preview/L3/byu_scp/sea_ice_age/arctic/v1
QuikScat preceded ASCAT.

Pure coincidence, I'm a satellite-guy and was wondering why Metop was underrepresented. :o

Neven, could you add links to the sea ice concentration from OSI SAF onto the Graphs Page?
