Operational Sea Ice Monitoring by Satellites in Europe.

Objectif



Sea ice has great environmental significance at high latitudes because of its strong impact on climate, the biosphere, human settlements, industries and sea transportation. Data from satellites have been used for many years as one of several techniques to monitor sea ice. With the development of SAR and other spaceborne sensors, it is expected that satellites will play an increasingly important role in monitoring of sea ice. In order to fully utilise satellite data in operational ice monitoring it is necessary to identify barriers which limit use of satellite data and find solutions which satisfy the user requirements.
The overall objective of this project is to analyse user requirements, study benefits of using satellite data and propose solutions for optimal use of satellite data in operational sea ice monitoring and forecasting. The work to be performed is a feasibility study which will:
* describe current ice monitoring systems and their users
* analyze the role of existing satellite data in ice monitoring * investigate user requirements and cost benefits
* analyze technical feasibility for missions, instruments and ground structure
* propose concepts for optimal use of space data in ice monitoring and forecasting including EUROGOOS applications
* assess solutions for cost-effective use of space data in European ice centres The study will be performed by three institues which have long experience and play a key role in satellite ice monitoring in three different parts of Europea ice-covered seas:
The Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center is instrumental in satellite ice monitoring in the Svalbard area, Barents Sea and the Northem Sea Route, the latter is included in a joint project between ESA and the Russian Space Agency. Finnish Institute of Marine Research is responsible for the operational Finnish Ice Monitoring in the Baltic Sea, and Danish Meteorological Institute has the responsibility for ice monitoring in Greenland waters.
The anticipated results of the project will be that the three partners as well as other European institutes working in sea ice monitoring can utilise satellite data more extensively in their services and strengthen their position in a market which is expected to grow significantly in the next decade. It is also expected that more use of satellite data will improve the quality of ice monitoring services, which in turn will increase the safety of sea transportation and other activities, and to reduce sailing times and save costs in sea transportation in ice-covered areas.
Finally, a systematic and standarised European ice monitoring system is foreseen to be established, for example under the EUROGOOS umbrella. This system can have several important roles, of which one would be in global warming detection.
