Forms based on gaps in satellite data, sourced from Unidata-Wisconsin Datastream, July 19-24, 2019.
Gaps in satellite imagery of the far north are the result of lower satellite density at the poles, and their shape reconfigures daily depending on the constellation of available satellites. What are the politics of designating regions of high-priority and low-priority at planetary scale? Who decides, and according to what criteria?
