Ice Deformation from SAR [H. Stern and Moritz, R.]
This is an external link to a Polar Science Center (University of Washington) website that contains data and documentation. The Canadian RADARSAT satellite collected 195 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the SHEBA site November 1, 1997, and October 8, 1998 (roughly one image every 3-5 days)....
