SAR and passive microwave observations of the Odden during Mizex '87
The Odden, a protuberance of sea ice in the Greenland Sea Basin, was studied using the NIMBUS-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) satellite and an X-band (3 cm) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) aircraft. The sea ice, meteorological, and oceanographic conditions within the northern port...

| description | The Odden, a protuberance of sea ice in the Greenland Sea Basin, was studied using the NIMBUS-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) satellite and an X-band (3 cm) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) aircraft. The sea ice, meteorological, and oceanographic conditions within the northern portion of the Odden were also studied in March and April 1987. The SMMR data, which were first validated with in situ ship measurements and the SAR data, showed rapid 2-4 day oscillations of the Odden ice edge. The oscillations at 74-75 deg N were several hundred kilometers in extent. The rapid oscillation of the Odden does not appear to be a result of wind-induced ice drift, but rather results from the rapid formation of thin ice off the main ice edge. |
