Antarctic Iceberg Tracking Database

Using data from all available satellite scatterometer instruments, along with measurements from the National Ice Center (NIC), we have produced a consolidated iceberg tracking database. The BYU database includes icebergs identified in enhanced resolution scatterometer backscatter images during July-Sept. 1978 (from Seasat), July 1996-June 1997 (from NSCAT), 1992-2001 (from ERS-1/2), June 1999-November 2009 (from QuikSCAT), 2008-present (from ASCAT), 2012-2014 (from OSCAT), 2017-present (OSCAT2). Images were obtained from the Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) project.
