ANALYSIS OF ANTARCTIC ICEBERG AND SEA ICE MELTING PATTERNS USING QUIKSCAT

QuikSCAT tracking of Antarctic icebergs is discussed, and iceberg movement trends are illustrated. Iceberg melting factors are explored and a backscatter time-series is presented. Interactions between iceberg and sea ice are examined using QuikSCAT data. To improve QuikSCAT sea ice mapping capabilit...
