Backscatter Properties of Sea Ice with Radar. Arctic Operations Description and Preliminary Data Summary.

Active microwave responses of sea ice and lake ice were investigated at sites located off the North Alaskan Coast in the Arctic Ocean. The experimenters were ground-based at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory, NARL, located outside of Barrow, Alaska, during May 1977, an early spring month in the A...
