Barrow coastal ice radar data
The Barrow coastal sea ice radar is 25 kW X-band marine radar with a 8' antenna, which is mounted on top of the bank building in Barrow, Alaska. Sea ice can be detected at ranges of up to about 20km (12 miles). Radar signals are reflected by rough ice, which appears as bright areas in these ima...
