Arctic atmosphere - Ice interaction studies using Nimbus-7 SMMRThe use of data from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) on board Nimbus 7 for studying ice-atmosphere interactions is discussed with reference to two case studies, one for the Greenland Sea and the other for the Sea of Okhotsk, for April/May 1979. By using SMMR data, rapid changes in ice extent and concentration have been observed in association with changes in synoptic atmospheric circulation. Case studies and analyses of sample data indicate that ice concentration estimates may be accurate to within 10 percent.
