Sea Ice Displacement from SEASAT Synthetic Aperture Radar
Images obtained by a synthetic aperture radar on SEASAT have been used to measure sea ice displacements over a three day interval in October 1978. The data points lie roughly along a line and are quite dense--about 2 km apart--over a distance of 863 km. The displacements are about twenty kilometers....
