A new publication about CIMR

A new paper was published at EGU The Cryosphere concerning the CIMR mission.

The paper uses JAXA AMSR2 data to demonstrate how a Level-2 NRT sea-ice drift product would look like for CIMR. HIstorically, brightness temperature data have been put together into daily maps before sea-ice drift maps were computed (Level-3 approach). In this new paper, we demonstrate the benefits of moving to a Level-2 approach (drift vectors computed from swath to swath). We obtain many more motion vectors with the Level-2 approach, and they are more accurate when compared against buoy data.

The paper is Open Access here: https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/15/3681/2021/tc-15-3681-2021.html
