SASSIE Arctic Field Campaign Shipboard S-Band Radar Level 4 Data Fall 2022

This dataset contains images from the S-BAND marine navigation radar collected during the 2022 Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) campaign. SASSIE is a NASA experiment that aims to understand how salinity anomalies in the upper ocean generated by melting sea ice affect sea surface temperature (SST), stratification, and subsequent sea-ice growth. SASSIE involved a field campaign that sampled the transition from summer melt to autumn ice advance in the Beaufort Sea during August-October 2022, making intensive in situ and remote sensing observations within ~200km of the sea ice edge. Images from the radar were digitized and saved every 10-60 seconds on days that the R/V Wolstad was in or around ice. Images were then georeferenced based on range, heading, image orientation, and ship's GPS position. L4 images are available in GeoTIFF format and contain additional processing to classify pixels as sea ice, not sea ice, or not data.
