A series of tools are being leveraged within ESRI’s
ArcGIS to analyze a suite of data acquired from a collection of coincident
instruments during the Sea ice Experiment: Dynamic Nature of the Arctic (SEDNA)
field project during spring 2007. The effort demonstrated here incorporates data
from RADARSAT imagery, buoy drifts, helicopter tracks, and thickness
distributions. The purpose is to view all these datasets together both spatially
and temporally using a data overlayering framework. This may be the first time a
time-varying data-layering approach has been applied to a sea-ice field program
given the rarity of such integrated measurements. Hence efforts demonstrated
here provide invaluable visualization of complex processes involving multiple
scales and instrumentation.
