The Campaign
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Sea Ice Product Validation (AMSRIce) was a NASA field investigation aimed at validating the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua AMSR sea ice retrievals. It involved two deployments over Alaska in March 2003 and 2006. The NASA P-3 aircraft was equipped with polarimetric scanning radiometers, laser altimeters, and radars to gather measurements of sea ice concentration, temperature, and snow depth for calibration and validation. AMSRIce was funded by EOS and NASA’s Cryospheric Sciences Program as part of the EOS Aqua AMSR-E Arctic Sea-Ice Validation Program.
