Arctic Sea Ice Melt Pond Statistics and Maps, 1999, 2000, and 2001

Arctic Sea Ice Melt Pond Statistics and Maps, 1999, 2000, and 2001 This data set includes pond coverage and size statistics from 1 meter visible band imagery. Surface type maps with either two (water and ice) or three (pond, open water, and ice) classes were created using supervised maximum likelihood classification. The satellite imagery was acquired over four Arctic Ocean sites, three in 1999.
