Purpose

Sea ice is part of our changing climate system. Continuous monitoring of global sea ice on a daily basis started with the launch of SeaSat in June 1978 and Nimbus-7 in October of the same year, both carrying the scanning multichannel microwave radiometer instrument. Since the start of the operational production of sea ice products in 2002, the growing user base has brought more focus on expanding the available data set. As a result, in 2006 EUMETSAT began an effort to reprocess historical passive microwave data to extend the OSI SAF sea ice data set.
