Imaging radar contributions to a major air-sea-ice interaction study in the Greenland Sea
By virtue of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR's) imaging capabilities, such as all-weather imaging, relatively high resolution, and large dynamic range of backscatter from SAR ice and open ocean, information on the important marginal ice zone (MIZ) parameters can be derived from the SAR data....
