Laboratory Measurements of Sea Ice: Connections to Microwave Remote Sensing

The connections between laboratory measurements and remote sensing observations of sea ice are explored. The focus of this paper is on thin ice which is more easily simulated in a laboratory environment. We summarize results of C-band scatterometer measurements and discuss how they may help in the i...

Summary:The connections between laboratory measurements and remote sensing observations of sea ice are explored. The focus of this paper is on thin ice which is more easily simulated in a laboratory environment. We summarize results of C-band scatterometer measurements and discuss how they may help in the interpretation of remote sensing data.
