The Robeson Channel, which is located between Ellesmere Island and northwest Greenland, is a narrow but crucial channel for ice outflow. Only three Eulerian sea ice motion products derived from ocean\/sea ice reanalysis are available: GLORYS12V1, PSY4V3, and TOPAZ4. In this study, we used Lagrangian ice motion in the Robeson Channel derived from Sentinel-1 images to assess GLORYS12V1, PSY4V3, and TOPAZ4. The influence of the presence of ice arches, and wind and tidal forcing on the accuracies of the reanalysis products was also investigated. The results show that the PSY4V3 product performs the best as it underestimates the motion the least, whereas TOPAZ4 grossly underestimates the motion. This is particularly true in regimes of free drift after the formation of the northern arch. In areas with slow ice motion or grounded ice floes, the GLORYS12V1 and TOPAZ4 products offer a better estimation. The spatial distribution of the deviation between the products and ice floe drift is also presented and shows a better agreement in the Robeson Channel compared to the packed ice regime north of the Robeson Channel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14020329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]],"date-time":"2022-01-11T20:33:04Z","timestamp":1641933184000},"page":"329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["An Assessment of Sea Ice Motion Products in the Robeson Channel Using Daily Sentinel-1 Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Tingting","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Chinese Antarctic Center of Surveying and Mapping, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Polar Surveying and Mapping, MNR, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6553-6805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zihan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The School of Geospatial Engineering and Science, Sun Yat-Sen University, Zhuhai 519000, China"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Shokr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Science and Technology Branch, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Government of Canada, Downsview, ON M3H 5T4, Canada"}]},{"given":"Ruibo","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Key Laboratory for Polar Science of the MNR, Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, China"}]},{"given":"Zhaoru","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The School of Oceanography, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1729","DOI":"10.1175\/2010JPO4323.1","article-title":"Sea ice response to atmospheric and oceanic forcing in the Bering Sea","volume":"40","author":"Zhang","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
