Spatial correlation length scales of sea-ice concentration errors of high-concentration pack ice for ESA-CCI-SICCI2-25km
Kern, Stefan
Abstract: Spatial correlation length scales derived from ESA-CCI SICCI-2 project sea-ice concentration data products at 25.0km grid resolution based on AMSR-E brightness temperature measurements for the period June 2002 through September 2011.
