Abstract :
Synoptic observations of the polar regions can be achieved only from space using sensors that collect data at regular intervals, night and day and in all weather. NASA has developed techniques for acquiring frequent global coverage of the polar ice cover, and for spotlighting selected regions to reveal detailed features within the ice pack.
