Comparison of sea ice parameters retrieved from passive microwave (SSM/I), Landsat MSS and AVHRR imageryIce concentrations derived from passive microwave data from the Special Sensing Microwave Imager (SSM/I), the Landsat MSS, and the AVHRR are compared for the validation of SSM/I-derived sea-ice products. Case studies with data from the Beaufort, Bering, East Greenland, and Weddell Seas are conducted to evaluate the performance of the NASA Team SSM/I algorithm under various sea-ice conditions. The results show that SSM/I ice concentrations are accurate with a mean error of 15 percent using globally derived tie points.
