Polarimetric remote sensing of sea ice in the Beaufort Sea
Data were collected in March 1988 with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) polarimetric airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Full covariance matrices were obtained from the scattering data with proper consideration of the polarimetric calibration. Images were processed to form the sea ice scenes...
