LANDSAT and NOAA satellite images from the University of Alaska LANDSAT Library have been used to make maps of ice conditions in the eastern Bering Sea. The analyses included daily charts of the ice, polynya locations, floe trajectories, and comparisons between data taken from the two sources. A Zoom Transfer Scope (ZTS) was used to transfer the data from an image to a map base for late winter conditions in 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1979.
