Sea Ice Monitoring

Sea ice monitoring involves tracking the presence, extent, and movement of ice in polar regions using satellite images, aerial surveys, and climate models. This data helps scientists understand changes in ice coverage over time, assess the impacts on global climate, and predict future conditions. Monitoring is essential for navigation safety, environmental protection, and understanding how melting ice oceans influence sea levels and weather patterns. Advances in technology have improved the accuracy and frequency of observations, providing critical insights into the ongoing effects of climate change on polar ecosystems.
