June 2010 Sea Ice Outlook - AWI/FastOpt/OASys contribution

Two-day mean ice displacement data for March to April from merged passive microwave (SSM/I, AMSR-E) or scatterometer (e.g. ASCAT) signals, which were kindly provided by Thomas Lavergne (OSI-SAF, met.no), with a spatial resolution of 62.5 km. The 4DVar assimilation minimizes the difference between observations and model analogues, by variations of the model's initial conditions on March 1
