This animation shows the percent of sea ice concentration in Antarctica for the past twelve years, using data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument aboard the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Global Change Observation Mission - Water 1 (GCOM-W1) platform. Press “Play” in the lower left corner of the embedded map to view changes in percent sea ice concentration over the past 12 years in monthly increments.
Sea ice concentration describes the relative amount of area covered by ice, as compared to a reference area. The animation displays the percent of sea ice concentration in Antarctica as a daily composite of the AMSR2 1:30 a.m. ascending and 1:30 p.m. descending half-orbit passes, at a spatial resolution of 12 km.
