Resources for case studies and discussions
Notes:
1) Before the start of the workshop all resources proposed by the ice services for dissemination between the analysts should be submitted to local organize
2) Format for the ice charts and preanalyzed satellite imagery should be TIFF, JPEG, PNG (excluding material which will be shown by the analysts from the own laptops)
3) Formats for the imagery proposed for online analysis should be GeoTIFF
4) Case studies titles:
#1 – Differences in presentation of ice parameters on selected satellite imagery (SAR/visible/IR) analyzed before the workshop
#2 – Results of the online analysis of selected satellite imagery (SAR/passive microwave/visible/IR) by regions and national services
#3 – Differences in routine ice charts for the past season 2007-2008 by regions and national ice services
#4 – Assessment of uncertainties in the historical series of the ice charts since the start of the routine ice mapping using ice charts from the Baltic sea ice services for 1950s-2008 as a model
