The Remote Sensing Center at Texas A and M University is conducting studies for the Naval Surface Weapons Center 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 provides information for the operation and maintenance of the developed processor system. (Author)
