Azimuthal modulation of C-band scatterometer over southern ocean sea ice
Abstract — In a continuing evaluation of the ERS-1 C-band scatterometer as a tool for studying polar sea ice, we evaluate the azimuthal modulation characteristics of Antarctic sea ice. ERS-1 AMI scatterometer mode data sets from several study regions dispersed in the Antarctic seasonal sea ice pack...
