Overview
API
Satellite data from the Chinese satellite Fengyun-3E is being used to enhance Antarctic ice monitoring and understanding, with researchers analyzing the data to distinguish between first-year and multi-year ice. The potential benefits include improved ice and climate models, as well as a broader detection capability of satellite microwave remote sensing.
