Ice sheet studies using synthetic aperture radar

The objective was to demonstrate the utility of synthetic aperture radar in ice sheet studies. The major advantage of SAR imagery over visible imagery is the all-weather capability of radar and the ability to specify look angle. Available digital SAR imagery over ice sheets was collected and examine...
