ENVISAT ASAR AP Data for Operational Sea Ice

Abstract — The information content of ENVISAT ASAR alternating polarization data is evaluated with respect to operations at the Canadian Ice Service. A data set covering an entire ice season is shown to have a higher information content compared to single polarization data. The potential for automat...

Description
Summary:Abstract — The information content of ENVISAT ASAR alternating polarization data is evaluated with respect to operations at the Canadian Ice Service. A data set covering an entire ice season is shown to have a higher information content compared to single polarization data. The potential for automated information extraction is also investigated, in particular problems caused by system noise and its variation over the swath. Keywords- ASAR; cross-polarization; sea ice I.
