| Popis: | The main objective of this study is to develop a system for ice monitoring using satellite data with focus on processes and phenomena of importance for climate, marine ecosystems and transport of pollutants. The specific objectives have been to: - Identify sea ice parameters which can be derived from available satellite data and be used in a monitoring system - Use these parameters to identify relevant indicators for climate change, effects on the ecosystem and on transport of pollutants as part of the monitoring under the Ministry of Environment’s area 7 and 8 - Develop and adapt use of existing methods for automated mapping of identified parameters and indicators - Develop and implement a GIS-based system for storage, integration, analysis and presentation of sea ice data, ARGOS/GPS data from polar bears and other relevant data - Demonstrate practical use of the system over a limited period (spring 2001) in the Storfjorden area of Svalbard, followed by validation and evaluation. NERSC Technical report no. 206. Funded by the Norwegian Space Center and the Norwegian Polar Institute, Contract no. NP-prosjekt 4671 |
