Abstract
The sea ice concentration from the enhanced NASA Team (NT2) algorithm was evaluated against coincident Radarsat images. The evaluation uses a new data fusion technique accounting for the sensor´s antenna pattern. Evaluation can be performed visually or statistically. This study involves cases from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada during the winter of 2000. Results show good agreement between the data sets.
