<strong>From</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>View</strong>:<br />
• <strong>Global</strong>:<br />
Satellite observations (ice concentration, extent, motion etc)<br />
are used for moni<strong>to</strong>ring „large-scale“ processes (≈1000 km)<br />
and as validation data for global coupled (atmosphere)- sea<br />
ice <strong>–</strong> ocean models<br />
Instruments: passive microwave radiometers + scatterometers<br />
with high temporal coverage, wide swath (>500-1000 km)<br />
but coarse (10-50km) spatial resolution<br />
Optical instruments: limited use (cloud coverage, polar night)
