Ak. Liu et Dj. Cavalieri, ON SEA-ICE DRIFT FROM THE WAVELET ANALYSIS OF THE DEFENSE METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE PROGRAM (DMSP) SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM I) DATA/, International journal of remote sensing, 19(7), 1998, pp. 1415-1423
Wavelet analysis of DMSP SSM/I 85 GHz radiance data is used to obtain
daily sea ice drift information for both the northern and southern pol
ar regions. This technique provides improved spatial coverage over the
existing array of Arctic Ocean buoys and better temporal resolution o
ver techniques utilizing data from satellite synthetic aperture radars
. Examples of derived ice-drift maps for both hemispheres illustrate l
arge-scale circulation reversals over a period of one month. Compariso
ns with ice displacements derived from buoys give good quantitative ag
reement.
