Although the primary source of U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office ice information is aircraft reconnaissance, satellites are becoming increasingly important. The advantages and disadvantages of utilizing aircraft and satellites to observe ice are compared to determine the relative value of the information. Satellites serve as a valuable supplement to aircraft reconnaissance by indicating boundaries, large water openings, and general concentrations. In addition, satellites are capable of providing extensive areal coverage, including remote areas where aircraft reconnaissance is not available. The reliability of interpretation of satellite ice reconnaissance is discussed. The importance of satellites as ice observing platforms will increase with improved satellite technology. (Author)
