ERS-1 Satellite Measurements of Weddell Sea Ice Motion and Deformation During Ice Station Weddell-1

Pairs of overlapping synthetic aperture radar (SAR) pictures from 1-3 day intervals were taken coinciding with the February- March 1992 occupation of an ice station in the Weddell Sea. The resulting vectors of ice movement were used in calculating divergence, vorticity, and shearing.
