Description
Summary:SAR Sea Ice Edge is a set of Python scripts to generate sea ice edge information from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data such as Sentinel-1 available at the ESA Scientific Data Hub (https://scihub.esa.int/). The latest version is available at https://bitbucket.org/Polarnix/sar-sea-ice-edge The software uses the Nansat Python library produced by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) and, optionally, their Sentinel-1 EW mode image denoise routines: In addition, coastline data from the NOAA Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Geography Database (GSHHG) is used to generate a landmask for the SAR image. A subset of this data is provided with the software for test purposes.
