Abstract
Ice monitoring is one of the most important monitoring items of earth environment problems because ice conditions closely relate to earth warming. Drift ice in Sea of Okhotsk is very important for Japan and it is necessary to study these ice conditions. NASDA has conducted MOS-1 airborne experiment during 1984 FY and 1985 FY, and MOS-1 Verification Program (MVP) experiment during 1987 FY and 1988 FY. As a part of MOS-1 airborne experiment and MVP, NASDA conducted airborne experiment in Hokkaido during Jan. 25, 1985 and
February 9, 1988 in order to evaluate effectiveness of MOS-1 data in the field of ice monitoring. In case of MVP, experiment was conducted on the same date as MOS-1 passing over test site.
In this paper, outline of these experiments and their results are presented.
