| Summary: | Data from 1, especially from the AMI Image Mode, or SAR, have been particularly useful in providing data on ice type and motion and oceanic These data have been used in studies of ocean and ice circulation, climate processes, processes near the ice edge, freshwater fluxes, and convection, and have also proved useful in support of operations in ice covered seas, INTRODUCTION A major objective of the program has been to advance the science of the polar oceans through observations supporting modeling of sea ice and the adjacent open ocean. These data were also known to be useful in supporting shipping operations in covered seas, and that aspect was pursued as an operational demonstrate ion. All the instruments of are considered useful in sea ice and polar oceans observations, and the instrument of greatest applicability is the Advanced Microwave Instrument (AMI) in Image Mode in which the AMI functions as a Synthetic-Aperture Radar The SAR is used in sea ice studies to describe the i. |
