Myriad environmental satellite missions are currently orbiting the earth. The comprehensive monitoring by these sensors provide scientists, policymakers, and the public critical information on the earth’s weather and climate system. The state of the art technology of our satellite monitoring system is the legacy of the first environment satellites, the Nimbus systems launched by NASA in the mid-1960s...
It is of critical importance in the study of Earth Sciences and climate to reliably extend our data sets farther back in time. It may be possible to build a 50-year sea ice extent record. The current satellite sea ice record starts in 1978, however polar observing satellites recorded sea ice data as early as 1962[1]. Accessing this data is difficult as many of the original data sets have been lost...
