Abstract
The concentration of sea ice is essential for determining crucial climate factors. Together with sea ice thickness, it is possible to determine significant air-sea fluxes and atmospheric heat transfer. In this study, the SARAL/AltiKa Sea Ice Algorithm is used to determine the monthly sea ice concentration (SIC) in the Arctic (SSIA). For the period from April 2013 to December 2020, data from the dual-frequency microwave radiometer (23.8 GHz and 37 GHz) on the SARAL/AltiKa satellite are used to compute SIC.
