Question on Sea Ice Volume |
|
PIOMAS hasn't updated ice volume since December... http://psc.apl.washington.edu/ArcticSeaiceVolume/IceVolume.php...and I've read that PIPS isn't totally accurate. http://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/pips2/ithi.htmlIs there currently a site that gives accurate daily updates to Sea Ice Volume (with anomalies)?

1. My understanding is, volume data is much harder to obtain. |
|
For obvious reasons -- area is easily measured from orbit.

2. I was thinking someone might have a link to a site with Cryosat-2 data |
|
Apparently their data is being released to registered users. Since the demise of Icesat last summer and until Icesat-2 goes up in 2013, I think Cryosat data will be the most accurate as it was designed specifically with ice volume in mind.
