2nd International workshop on passive microwave sea ice concentration
The workshop will take place on February 18-19 2
013 at the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen and is sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA), WCRP Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Project Office and the Danish Meteorological Institute.
Sea ice concentration from satellite microwave radiometry is our primary source of information on the annual sea ice extent minimum as well as a large variety of other properties of the large scale sea ice cover of the Earth. For this workshop we invite scientists developing and/or applying algorithms to derive sea ice concentration to participate in discussions of mutual interest.
The theme of the workshop will be passive microwave sea ice concentration algorithm inter-comparison and validation and we will deal with topics such as algorithm intercomparison, ice concentration validation in different regions and seasons, establishment of a common open validation database, new algorithm developments including fusion of microwave radiometer data with other data sources.
