Radar Imagery of Arctic Pack Ice Kane Basin to North Pole.

The pictorial brochure has been compiled to show an existing radar system's capability of imaging large areas of sea ice in relatively short periods of time. The radar imagery was obtained during the latter part of April 1962 by a USAF high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a side-...

Description
Summary:The pictorial brochure has been compiled to show an existing radar system's capability of imaging large areas of sea ice in relatively short periods of time. The radar imagery was obtained during the latter part of April 1962 by a USAF high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a side- looking, scanner-type radar unit. USA CRREL personnel made visual aerial observations of the ice imaged by radar, utilizing USN ice reconnaissance aircraft active in the area during this period. Conventional hand-held aerial photography of the ice characteristics was obtained on these flights and some of these photographs are included to supplement the radar imagery. (Author)
