Polarimetric C-band Microwave Scattering Properties of Snow Covered First-Year Sea Ice ...
In this thesis, the physical, dielectric, and C-band polarimetric microwave properties of snow covered first-year sea ice (FYI) at different temperature conditions, largely encompassing late winter to melt onset period are investigated. First, a set of polarimetric parameters derived using different...
