A method to detect sub-pixel-scale polynyas with passive microwave data has been developed. Models for the brightness temperature transition from sea ice to shelf ice, with and without a coastal polynya, are generated by simulating the satellite overflight across the coast. The models are compared with image data along transects across the coast; correlation coefficients are used to determine the best-fit model and thereby detect the influence of open water. Polynya areas derived from a single SSM/I overpass compare well with coincident AVHRR data showing a mean difference of 156 km2. A longer time series based on daily averaged SSM/I data over a study area adjacent to research station Halley indicates that the opening and closing of polynyas are highly correlated with station wind data.
