Melt Detection in Antarctic Ice Shelves Using Scatterometers and Microwave Radiometers
Abstract—Ku-band dual-polarization radar backscatter measurements from the SeaWinds-on-QuikSCAT scatterometer are used to determine periods of surface freeze and melt in the Antarctic ice shelves. The normalized horizontal-polarization radar backscatter (σ o) and backscatter polarization ratio are u...
