Summary: | In the yearlong MOSAIC expedition (2019-2020) R/V Polarstern drifted with sea ice through the Arctic Ocean, with the goal to continually monitor changes in the coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere system throughout the seasons. A substantial amount of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images overlapping the campaign was collected. Here, we investigate the change in polarimetric features over sea ice from the freeze up to the advanced melt season using fully polarimetric L-band images from the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 and fully polarimetric C-band images from the RADARSAT-2 satellite SAR sensors. |
