The Sea Ice service at met.no produce daily ice charts covering the Fram Strait to the Barents Sea
with main emphasize on the areas around Svalbard. Areas where independent information (manual
inspection of SAR, MODIS and AVHRR) are utilized are marked by the ice service. These are then
collocated with the OSI SAF ice product. The focus is on areas close to the ice edge. Example of a
used area is given in the figure below. To the left (1) a daily Sea Ice service product is show,
to the right (2) a polygon with validation data from the same product is shown. Click at the image
to enlarge.
Below tables with results from comparing the OSI SAF ice concentration and ice edge products are given. These validation resuls are representing areas close to the ice edge. Areas further into the Artic ice have not been included. Including these areas would have increased the validation "score". The validation results show the relative performance in the areas close to the ice edge and for example illustrates the problems finding the ice edge during late summer.
