C-Band Radar Backsctter of Sea Ice in The Weddell Sea, Antarctica During The Austral Winter of 1992

A C-band ship-based scatterometer was used to measure the backscatter coefficient of sea ice in the Weddell Sea during June and July 1992. These are the first microwave scatterometer data ever to be collected in the Antarctic sea ice cover during the austral winter.
