Timeseries (climatological) data Arctic and southern ocean sea ice concentration (N.H.: ; S.H.: ) After 1978 NASA Team Bootstrap ice concentrations from SMMR/SSMI (GSFC) modified Bootstrap Sea ice concentrations from SMMR/SSMI (GSFC) modified NASA Team Sea ice index (monthly ice extent, ice concentration) since 1988 NASA Team Sea ice trends and climatologies from SMMR/SSMI since 1978 NASA Team Bootstrap ….and then there are, of course, the “standard” ice concentrations: from SMMR ( ) : NASA Team only from SSM/I (1987 – present): NASA Team and Bootstrap from AMSR-E (2004 (at the moment) – present): NASA Team 2, Bootstrap, AMSR Bootstrap

NASA Team Bootstrap NASA Team has errors at larger spatial extent while errors in Bootstrap are in areas of larger heat fluxes.

Some thoughts (1) Why do users choose a specific algorithm/product? Other publications/applications from peers using specific algorithm? Inter-comparison papers? Transparency/Reproductibility/Understanding of limitations? Lobbying? NSIDC web information? Faster (immediate) access to data via ftp? Is accuracy and temporal consistency necessarily mutually exclusive? Yes, overpass times are different between sensors but… increasing resolution more channels improved algorithms Is occasional “re-analysis” (re-processing) advisable?

Need to be careful about indirect effects on algorithm outputs For example: Temperature sensitivity – warmer/colder air temperatures Wetness sensitivity – earlier onset of melt Given the history with these algorithms and the user groups that use either algorithm a decision towards either the Bootstrap or the NASA Team may not be the way to go. (Neither is undoubtedly superior)…and in a way there’s nothing wrong with that as long as users understand limitations. Possible solution: Development of better algorithm Patch – Adjust tiepoints - Reprocess backwards Some thoughts (2)
