Radar Remote Sensing of Ice and Sea State and Air-Sea Interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone

The goals of this project are to utilize shipborne remote sensing to understand the scattering and attenuation process of ocean waves interacting with ice. A dedicated nautical X-band radar on a vessel would be used to follow the propagation of waves into the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and observe the...

Description
Summary:The goals of this project are to utilize shipborne remote sensing to understand the scattering and attenuation process of ocean waves interacting with ice. A dedicated nautical X-band radar on a vessel would be used to follow the propagation of waves into the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and observe the attenuation and scattering of wave modes from the floating ice as well as estimate surface wind and surface current speeds and directions. This measuring approach will provide a comprehensive local picture of wave scattering and boundary layer flows over floating ice in the MIZ.
