Abstract
- Given the importance of the relatively long-term passive microwave record for climate studies, we evaluated the sensitivity of passive microwave brightness temperatures and corresponding sea ice concentrations to variations in surface and atmospheric conditions. Based on model results, this effort allows sources and magnitudes of error in the available algorithms and the existing passive, microwave derived time series or sea ice concentrations to be better quantified.
