To improve our understanding of how snow properties influence sea ice thickness retrievals
from presently operational and upcoming satellite radar altimeter missions, as well as to …

The dielectric properties of sea ice are important for both passive and active microwave
remote sensing of sea ice. In this paper, we present a new technique for dielectric …

Oil thickness in oil spills involving sea ice is a key parameter required for an effective oil spill
response; however, quantifying it from radar backscatter data remains a difficult task. We …

In this paper, we present a new technique for automated detection of ice and open water
from RADARSAT-2 ScanSAR dual-polarization HH-HV images. Probability of the presence …

We construct and present the first baseline, time series evolution of L-band SAR microwave
backscatter (σ 0 HH) for landfast Arctic first-year (FYI) and multi-year (MYI) sea ice from …

Arctic sea ice is rapidly transitioning into a perennial first year ice pack and this is being
observed with satellite remote sensing. Satellite image interpretation requires accurate …

In this study, we inter-compare observed and modeled Ku-, X-and C-band microwave
backscatter for two snow temperature conditions for a highly saline snow cover on smooth …

This study investigates changes in Ku-, X-and C-band microwave backscatter, co-polarized
ratio and dual-frequency ratios, to changes in in-situ measured snow thermophysical …

In this paper, we present model and measurement results for time-series angular
dependencies of C-band nn and VV normalized radar cross-sections (NRCS) over first-year …

Sea ice is a complex structure and theoretical models have been developed to describe the
scattering of electromagnetic waves. The area of small incidence angles remains the least …
