"SaTellite remote sensing on west Antarctic ocean Research (STAR)" project was launched in 2014 and completed in 2016. This study investigated the West Antarctic Ocean using remote sensing techniques and numerical models to understand the interaction between sea-ice and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The project included the following research topics: 1) research on ACC frontal features and seaice dynamics using remote sensing and numerical modeling; 2) primary production monitoring using ocean color sensor; 3) monitoring pCO2 and net community production, and development of a remote sensing model; 4) development of remote sensing techniques for the cryosphere; and 5) investigation and development of remote sensing applications for multidisciplinary research in the polar region.
