The Estimate of Sea Ice Thickness Based on the Relative Albedo of NOAA/AVHRR

The estimate of sea ice thickness is the academic base of sea ice research in Bohai Sea. According to the ice-water spectrum differences and the correlation between ice thickness and albedo, this paper comes up with a sea ice thickness inversion model based on the relative albedo of NOAA/AVHRR data. The results are better in the coastal area and the average error of this method is about 21%. Then a preliminary analysis has been made on the errors of the estimate of sea ice thickness.
