Abstract :
The cover displays: (Left) Sea-ice concentration difference (AMSR-E minus Aqua MODIS) map overlaid on the Aqua MODIS broadband TOA albedo image for the Ross Sea on 2 October 2005. (Right) Aqua MODIS TOA albedo for the same day. The insets (yellow and green) illustrate the contrast in MODIS TOA albedos between the interior pack ice and ice in the marginal ice zone.
