The Remote Sensing Center at Texas A and M University is conducting studies for the Naval Ordnance Laboratory to develop a real-time, special purpose radar data processor. The purpose of this processing system is to provide ice type identification using radar scatterometer measurements. This document reports on the activities of the Remote Sensing Center, during the months of June through August 1974 directed toward that effort. (Author)
