MONRUK SAR data analysis report
Part 1: SAR data analysis for open ocean. ENVISAT ASAR images for the three study areas, Barents and Kara Seas, Black Sea and Caspian Sea, are collected to investigate the most important oceanographic phenomena with use of existing and newly developed retrieval algorithms. ASAR data were received fr...

ENVISAT ASAR images for the three study areas, Barents and Kara Seas, Black Sea and Caspian Sea, are collected to investigate the most important oceanographic phenomena with use of existing and newly developed retrieval algorithms.

The main tools implemented for the SAR analysis is SARTool provided by BOOST Technologies and the Radar Imaging Model (RIM) developed at NIERSC. Part 2: SAR data analysis for sea ice.
