Utilization of Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) technology on hydrographic surveys in the Arctic result in significant time savings to field operations while simultaneously improving safety and providing more capability.
The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Proving Ground and Risk Reduction (PGRR) program facilitates initiatives to increase or improve the use and value of JPSS data products in user products, services, and application or service areas. Building on the success of the Fire and Smoke, River Ice and Flooding, Hydrology, and Sounding initiatives, the JPSS Arctic Initiative is the latest endeavor of the...
Snow cover extent (SCE) is an essential climate variable. Indicators of trends in the temporal and spatial patterns of SCE are increasingly used to both monitoring climate variability and change and quantifying regional environmental conditions. However, the choice and accuracy of the indicators are often depends on the input snow cover data. A survey of snow cover indicators is performed to identify...
With maritime activity increasing in the Arctic, the US Coast Guard is preparing for an expanded role. Operating safely and effectively in harsh, remote Polar Regions with ice hazards, poor communications and satellite coverage poses a tremendous challenge;, the USCG plans to take advantage of relevant technology, strengthen existing partnerships and explore new ones with International and Federal...
The visible and near-infrared bands of AVHRR radiometer on the NOAA satellites can be used to monitor the Arctic sea ice cover. It is well known that Earth's surface characters in the cloud-covered regions could not be monitored exactly by the visible and near-infrared remote sensing. Therefore, the cloud detection is a fundamental process for sea ice parameters inversion. For the Arctic regions,...
