Besides tracking icebergs QuikScat data will be very useful in other polar ice studies. A key application is sea ice extent mapping. Initial results for ice motion tracking are also encouraging. Under the direction of Dr. Long, the MERS lab will produce a series of standard image products from SeaWinds data. These products are described in the MERS QuikScat Products home page which has links to sample data products and data reading software.
