After a very inspiring #IICWGDA11 workshop this week on #SeaIceDataAssimilation I've downloaded some test L2 #AMSR2 #SIC observations and already got a convertor going to put it in the necessary format for assimilation.
Just gotta think about superobbing and thinning, but hopefully that'll be straightforward!

Marina Durán Moro (MET Norway) carries assimilation of Level2 #SeaIce Concentration from #AMSR2 : from each orbit individually.

This performs better than assimilating daily average products, but there are regional dependency.

Jozef Rusin (PhD candidate at MET Norway and UiT) presents his research on Resolution Enhanced #SeaIceConcentration from #AMSR2 at #IICWGDA11.

The Alfred Wegener Institute's #AMSR2 based flavour of #Antarctic #SeaIce extent has also posted a new satellite era minimum.

#Arctic #SeaIce extent has been growing fast over the last 3 days, mostly in the Hudson Bay and Chukchi Sea.

Here is an animation of #SeaIce concentration coverage from the Japanese #satellite #AMSR2, processed by yours truly et al 😜.

Have a nice week-end when the time comes!

#Iceberg #A76 calved from the Ronne Ice Shelf in May 2021. It is about 170 km long and 25 km wide and weighs about 1000 Gt.
