Short summary
Since the late 1970s, standard methods for observing sea ice area from satellites have contrasted its passive microwave emissions to those of the ocean. Since 2018, a new satellite, ICESat-2, may have offered a unique and independent way to sample sea ice area at high skill and resolution, using laser altimetry. We develop a new product of sea ice area for the Arctic using ICESat-2 and constrain the biases associated with the use of altimetry instead of passive microwave emissions.
