Multifrequency polarimetric synthetic aperture radar observations of sea ice

The first known fully polarimetric airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data set of sea ice is introduced. The full Stokes matrix information generated from C, L, and P band data characterize the scattering behavior of different ice types. Polarization ratios and phase differences between linear...
