Weddell-Scotia sea marginal ice zone observations from space, October 1984

Imagery from the Shuttle imaging radar-B experiment as well as other satellite and meteorological data are examined to learn more about the open sea ice margin of the Weddell-Scotia Seas region. At the ice edge, the ice forms into bandlike aggregates of small ice floes similar to those observed in t...
