RADARSAT Data Utilization 1. Purpose Sea Ice Analysis in detail in the Sea of Okhotsk For the appropriate initial data for Coastal Sea Ice Model and Whole Okhotsk Model Estimation of Sea Ice Thickness ( if possible ) Estimation of Sea Surface Current ( if possible ) 2. Requirement in JMA to for RADARSAT data Every 5 day’s data Ascending and Descending ScanSAR Wide mode 4 Scenes a day from December to May In a year, about 150 scenes are necessary for sea ice monitoring.
Process of Making the initial data for Sea Ice Model Sea Surface Temperature Sea Surface Current Analysis Initial Data Numerical Sea Ice Model Numerical Weather Prediction Sea Ice Concentration/Extent Sea Ice Thickness Forecast Data Feedback Sea Ice Concentration/Extent Sea Ice Thickness At the first time of running the model, sea ice thickness is determined 20cm.
