Description
Summary:By means of satellite data, maps of sea ice concentration are preparedfor observation of the global distribution of sea ice, for improvement ofice drift models and for support of the navigation in polar regions. At thepresent time, only insufficient accuracies for concentrations can beachieved by the available algorithms - in particular because anarea-covering validation to the actual situation of sea ice is missing.Essentially for this validation, we have developed different airborne linescanner systems, which are prisented in this paper.
