Applications of SAR Measurements in Ocean-Ice Atmosphere Interaction Studies

The difficulty in observing the polar sea-ice cover and its influence on the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer is the ephemerality of active geophysical prosesses. Identifying timescales of sea-ice formation, change and decay, is the key to successful measurement of these processes.
