SEA ICE INVESTIGATIONS FROM SEASAT TO THE PRESENT, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ICE MOTION: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED AND WHAT AWAITS
NASA launched Seasat in June 1978 carrying a remarkable array of microwave instruments designed to observe the global oceans, including an active microwave altimeter, scatterometer, and SAR along with a passive microwave radiometer. While the satellite mission ended abruptly in mid-October 1978 afte...
