Melt Pond Maps around the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Drifting Station derived from High Resolution Optical Imagery, 2020

This dataset contains surface maps of sea ice melt pond locations around the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) drifting station. High resolution satellite imagery (0.5 meter (m) per pixel) was acquired by the Planet SkySat satellite platform targeting the drifting track of the MOSAiC central observatory. These satellite images were processed with the OSSP (Open Source Sea ice Processing) Algorithm to categorize the surface observed in each image into four categories: 1) Snow and thick ice, 2) thin or slushy ice, 3) melt ponds and submerged ice, and 4) open water. Each image of surface classifications is a geotiff that contains the georeferencing data of the source satellite image.

本数据集涵盖北极气候多学科漂流观测站（Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate, MOSAiC）漂流站点周边海冰融池分布区域的地表分类图。像素分辨率为0.5米的高分辨率卫星影像由Planet公司SkySat卫星平台采集，成像范围覆盖MOSAiC核心观测站的漂流轨迹。所有卫星影像均通过OSSP（开源海冰处理算法，Open Source Sea ice Processing）完成处理，将单幅影像中的地表观测对象划分为四类：1. 积雪与厚海冰；2. 薄冰或融泥冰；3. 融池与水下海冰；4. 开阔水域。每幅地表分类影像均采用GeoTIFF格式存储，包含原始卫星影像的地理参考数据。
