QuikSCAT Ice Page

The daily ice image products are generated from SeaWinds NRT Level 1B sigma0 data which are operationally generated at NOAA NESDIS. The images are produced using software that was developed as part of the NASA Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder Project.

This page contains the most recent images covering the Antarctic, the Arctic, the Ross Ice Shelf, South Georgia Island and the Weddell Sea. The Antarctic and Arctic products typically span a 24-hour data period, while the other regions span a 38-hour period. The coverage may vary due to delays in data availability or rev reprocessing. Current products include the h-pol average, the h-pol SIR(Scatterometer Image Reconstruction) and the ocean-masked image.

Details about these and other scatterometer image products can be found at the: NASA Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder Project Homepage
