Monitoring of Antarctic Sea  Ice  Based on  the Multichannel MODIS Data

  • In consideration of  the Antarctic special  environmenta new sea-ice  extraction method of  usin g the  0.86m and 1.24m wave bands of MODIS is  proposedbased on the Normalize Difference Snow Index NDSI.It  can extract  the  sea  ice  under  the  clear  sky and thin cloud  condition res pectivelywhich lar gel y improve  the  efficienc y and spatial  resolution of Antarctic sea-ice monitoring.The new method is  used  to obtain the monthly sea  ice  images  in  the whole Antarctica of  recent  years.Thencombining the AMSR-E datathe  change monitoring of Antarctic sea  ice  is  executed.It  indi cates  thatfrom 2002to 2010both the Antarctic sea-ice  extent  and sea-ice  area  reach  the minimums in Februarywith the  averages  are  3.17×106 km2 and 2.42×106 km2 res pectivel y.And the maximums appear  in September with the  averages  are  18.40×106 km2 and 16.60×106 km2.The inter  annual  change of Antarctic sea  ice  can be divided  to  three periodsthe  flat  period of  the year  from 2002to  2004the  reduced period of  2005to 2007and the  increased  period  of  2008to 2010.It verifies  the 20years  cycle  of Antarctic sea  ice  in  the  inter  annual  change.The change trend  of  the whole Antarctic sea  ice  is  not obvious  in  the  recent  nine  years.
