Study on Bohai sea ice based on MODIS data

Abstract

Based on MODIS L1B data, we identify information of sea ice area, peripheral line and density, and also use Landsat data with higher resolution to verify the results obtained from MODIS data. Using pseudo color processing technology is more intuitive and more clear to show the various information of the Bohai sea. The whole process of sea ice information extraction is described in detail from MODIS data downloads to image processing and analysis. The selected data basically cover the entire process from the initial ice age, the peak ice age to the final ice age. The ideal results are obtained, and it also shows that the MODIS satellite data is feasible to monitor sea ice, which provides a reference for the establishment of monitoring sea ice model.
