Ice in the Bering Sea
POES AVHRR 0.86 µm visible channel images
A sequence of AWIPS images of POES AVHRR 0.86 µm visible channel data (above) showed the areal extent of ice in the Bering Sea during the 09 March – 11 March 2012 period. The far southern edge of the ice could be seen moving a bit further to the south during this time.
The corresponding Sea Ice Analaysis chart issued by the Ice Desk at the Anchorage, Alaska National Weather Service forecast office (below) provided a more detailed analysis of the age and thickness of various portions of this ice in the Bering Sea.
