Polarimetric Decomposition of L- and P-band SAR Backscatter Over the Superimposed Ice Zone of a Sub-Polar Ice-Cap

The potential of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for monitoring glaciers and ice sheets has been widely recognized in the last decades. Nevertheless, most of the studies conducted over land ice employing SAR observations focus on the qualitative analysis of polarimetric backscatter, usually supported...
