Seasat, ERS-112 and NSCAT Scatterometer Observed Changes on the Large Ice Sheets
Abstract- Satellite-borne wind scatterometers are effective tools for monitoing ice sheets and microwave imaging techniques enable comparison of historic and contemporary scatterometer data in climate change studies. We document scattering characteristics of the Greenland ice sheet using data from t...
