Algorithms

  In this section, the 5 used algorithms to retrieve ice concentration will be outlined.
Most algorithms are based on two simple equations:

 

where , and are the amount of open water, multi-year ice and first-year ice, respectively. is not to be confused with from equation 1. The second formula is:

 

where is the brightness temperature and , and are the brightness temperatures from open water, multi-year ice and first-year ice, respectively.
The algorithms will be addressed separately below.
