This blog post discusses a poster by Tom Greenwald who (along with co-authors) investigated how microwave data from AMSR-2 can be used to estimate sea ice concentration in regions where very high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are not present.  The AMSR-2 images were validated using very high-resolution Landsat visible imagery;  that is, this was done in regions of clear skies to show that the microwave data would be producing useful information in regions of clouds.  The high-resolution AMSR-2 Sea Ice Concentration data are used, as the poster notes, to &#8220;track the ice edge and marginal ice zone (MIZ) with a degree of confidence not achieved with the standard AMSR2 sea ice concentration.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dedicated CIMSS Satellite Blog reader might recall past blog posts that also discussed this technique, <a href=\"https:\/\/cimss.ssec.wisc.edu\/satellite-blog\/archives\/50813\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cimss.ssec.wisc.edu\/satellite-blog\/archives\/54079\">here<\/a>.
