Spaceborne SAR and sea ice
A number of remote sensing systems deployed in satellites to view the Earth which are successful in gathering data on the behavior of the world's snow and ice covers are described. Considering sea ice which covers over 10% of the world ocean, systems that have proven capable to collect useful d...
