Monitoring of sea ice motion in the Arctic is an important research and development task, both from
climate and human activities perspectives. As part of the OSI SAF (
www.osi-saf.org), we have been
developing an operational sea ice drift observing system, based on sequence of satellite images.
The examples displayed on the right are 48 hours motion fields. Each arrow in the map corresponds to
the magnitude and direction of the displacement of sea ice during 48 hours.
