Sea Ice Identification Using Dual-Polarized Ku-Band Scatterometer Data
Maps of sea ice have been based on a combination of observations from aircraft and ships, and infrared and passive microwave data from various spaceborne sensors. Described here is the potential of using dual-polarized scatterometer returns from the polar oceans to identify the edge of the ice cover. This ice edge could be used to compute the ice extent, which may be a useful indicator of climatic changes.
