Retrieving the Motion of Beaufort Sea Ice Using Brightness Temperature Data from FY-3D Microwave Radiometer Imager.

ABSTRACT: Sea ice is an important marine phenomenon in the Arctic region, and it is of great importance to study the motion of Arctic sea ice in the present day when its melting is accelerated by global warming. This study proposes a method to retrieve the motion of sea ice based on the maximum cross-correlation (MCC) and the successive correction method (SCM). The proposed method can apply different scales of search ranges to template matching according to the location of sea ice in the Arctic area. In addition, the data assimilation method can assign different weights to different data. We used 36.5 GHz and 89 GHz brightness temperature (T_b) data from the microwave radiometer imager (MWRI) aboard the Fengyun-3D (FY-3D) satellite, for the first time in the literature, to retrieve
