Fantastic High Resolution Video of Sea Ice
Posted by Jeff Id on July 9, 2009
This link is provided by Bremen Universtity and utilizes the ASMR-E sensors to compute the sea ice. I recommend right clicking and downloading to your harddrive for viewing. The files are only 20mb in size so the download time isn’t that long. The advantage of these videos over my own is a much higher resolution which really reveals the flow patterns of the sea ice. You can see the currents in the Arctic push in through the Bearing strait melting away the ice in the summer. Thanks to DeWitt Payne for emailing the link.

These guys deserve some credit for putting up such excellent videos.
