Combined Use of Space Borne Optical and SAR Data to Improve Knowledge about Sea Ice for Shipping
As a first step towards a new combined product for sea ice classification based on optical/thermal data collected by Sentinel-3 satellites and SAR data from Sentinel-1 satellites, which can be used as an appropriate support for navigation in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters, two existing classification...
