Measurement characteristics and Kinematics of Sea Ice Using Microwave Satellite Data
Changes in sea ice conditions have major effects on the ocean and on weather, but visual observations miss periods of cloudiness and darkness. Microwave radar satellites are the only uninterrupted source of high resolution (30 m) data. Recent developments will allow high-resolution global sea-ice tr...

| Summary: | Changes in sea ice conditions have major effects on the ocean and on weather, but visual observations miss periods of cloudiness and darkness. Microwave radar satellites are the only uninterrupted source of high resolution (30 m) data. Recent developments will allow high-resolution global sea-ice tracking at intervals of a few days. |
