The two final days of the CIMRex campaign in Svalbard offered spectacular (and cold) conditions, allowing three long science flights. Read the blog entry by Samuli Nyman and Sampo Salo.
Animations of the planned orbit of CIMR, its coverage, and the synchronization with future EPS-SG "B" missions were prepared. See "Resources / CIMR ORBIT (VIDS)"
This animation shows the simulated CIMR sea ice concentration field, using a typical algorithm combining 18.7 and 36.5 GHz frequency channels, and compared to the resolution of SMMR, SSM/I, and AMSR2.
One post, two flight legs! The CIMRex campaign sucessfully arrived in Svalbard, via Greenland. Juha Lemmetyinen (FMI) and Sampo Salo (Harp Technologies Ltd) report.
