SASSIE Arctic Field Campaign Shipboard S-Band Radar Level 3 Data Fall 2022

Metadata Updated: September 18, 2025

This dataset contains images from the S-BAND marine navigation radar collected during the 2022 Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) campaign. SASSIE is a NASA experiment that aims to understand how salinity anomalies in the upper ocean generated by melting sea ice affect sea surface temperature (SST), stratification, and subsequent sea-ice growth. SASSIE involved a field campaign that sampled the transition from summer melt to autumn ice advance in the Beaufort Sea during August-October 2022, making intensive in situ and remote sensing observations within ~200km of the sea ice edge. Images from the radar were digitized and saved every 10-60 seconds on days that the R/V Wolstad was in or around ice. Images were then georeferenced based on range, heading, image orientation, and ship's GPS position. L3 images are available in GeoTIFF format.
