Advanced synthetic aperture radar image mode precision (ASAR IMP) scenes of Deception Island from December 2008 to September 2010 have been analysed to assess its potential for snow cover classification. Backscattering was checked against ground truth. Despite the good spatial resolution of the ASAR...
