Opening and closing of sea ice leads - Digital measurements from synthetic aperture radar

An algorithm that uses two sequential SAR digital images to measure the opening and closing of sea ice leads is introduced. The methods used to analyze the SAR images is described, including the mesh of tie points and the classification of leads and ice. The results of the anaylsis are compared with...
