Abstract

This paper describes a classification algorithm using dual-polarized scatterometer measurements to identify the edge of the sea ice cover. The distinct polarization scattering of sea ice and open water are discussed and illustrated with the dual-polarized radar measurements from the Seasat-A scatterometer (SASS).

The Perennial Ice Cover of the Beaufort Sea from Active and Passive Microwave Observations

We examine the perennial ice concentration in the Beaufort Sea using active and passive microwave observations. The definition of multiyear ice provides a condition which states that areas of multiyear ice during the winter should be nearly equivalent to the ice area during the previous summer's minima. We compare the ice type and concentration estimates from SSM/I and ERS-1 SAR data over a seasonal cycle from January 1992 to January 1993.
