Investigation of multi-dimensional algorithms using active and passive microwave data for ice concentration determination
Abstract
A discussion is presented concerning the effect of variations in ice surface characteristics on the concentration calculations, in order to ascertain how active and passive microwave data can be optimally combined. Attention is given to dual-polarized, multifrequency passive microwave sensors and to single-channel SAR, in virtue of their availability in the near future. An examination of SAR intensity data at both 1 and 10 GHz indicates that the latter are much less sensitive to ice type and surface condition variations such as wetness and ridging. The Advanced Multichannel Microwave Radiometer is discussed.
