Characterization and classification of sea ice in polarimetric SAR data

A more detailed characterization of the apparent thin ice types in the multifrequency, multipolarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) dataset acquired during a campaign for validation of the DMSP SSM/I radiometer ice products is given. The emphasis is on providing a more detailed characterization...
