Description:The application to ice mapping of recently available ITOS and Nimbus thermal infrared data is investigated. The ITOS-1 Scanning Radiometer (SR) and the Nimbus-4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (IBIR) have been the first satellite high resolution sensors to operate in the 10.5-12.5 µm spectral interval. In this study, arctic ice distributions are mapped from ITOS Direct Readout (DRSR) imagery; densitometric analyses are performed using DRSR and Nimbus imagery; ITOS digitized temperatures are mapped through the 5-level scheme developed in previous studies; and the use of Nimbus daytime IR data is evaluated.
