Developing Remote Sensing Capabilities for Meter-Scale Sea Ice Properties
The overarching goal of this work is to develop and validate remote sensing techniques to track sea ice physical properties of geophysical importance that occur below the pixel size of most global-coverage satellite assets. We will collect a dataset of high resolution satellite imagery and develop a...
