Ice-plus-snow thickness profiles collected using a helicopter-borne electromagnetic sensor (Ice Probe) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in early March 1996 are used to validate SAR signatures of ice observed in RADARSAT imagery. The ice thickness and RADARSAT data were co-registered using SLAR imagery an...
