dc.description.abstract	Arctic sea ice extent and the timing of melt onset are important parameters in the study of polar processes and climate changes. NSCAT Ku-band active microwave observations of the Arctic sea ice cover are described in this article with emphasis on their potential use for estimating ice extent and detection of spring melt.	en_US
