Abstract :
Using AVHRR 1 and 2 data, the spatial and seasonal variability of sea ice visible and infrared albedo is examined through non-standardized principal component analysis (PCA). PCA reveals the importance of the time of ice consolidation in controlling the spatial and temporal variability of sea ice albedo during the spring melt season
