NASA | A Selective History of Arctic Sea Ice Observations, Part 2

The video discusses the evolution of satellite technology for observing Arctic sea ice, starting with early Tyros weather satellites and advancing to more sophisticated instruments like Nimbus 5 and ICESAT. It highlights the decline in Arctic ice cover, with significant reductions noted from 1999 onwards. New missions focus on measuring ice thickness, crucial for understanding climate impacts. The video emphasizes ongoing research efforts to study ice cover and thickness, predicting continued ice shrinkage and its global climate implications.
