Identification of sea ice types in spaceborne synthetic aperture radar data

This paper presents a classification approach, its expected performance, the dependence of this performance on radar system performance, and expected ice scattering characteristics. Results using both aircraft and simulated ERS-1 SAR data are presented. The results are compared to limited field ice...
