An iterative approach to multisensor sea ice classification
Characterizing the variability in sea ice in the polar regions is fundamental to an understanding of global climate and the geophysical processes which govern climate changes. Sea ice can be grouped into a number of general classes with different characteristics. Multisensor data from NSCAT, ERS-2, and SSM/I are reconstructed into enhanced resolution imagery for use in ice type classification. ...
متن کاملMultisensor data and thermodynamic sea-ice model based sea-ice thickness chart with application to the Kara Sea, Arctic Russia
We introduce a method to construct an ice thickness chart using two satellite datasets and a one-dimensional high-resolution thermodynamic snow and sea-ice model (HIGHTSI). Thin-ice thickness up to 40 cm is retrieved using MODIS ice surface temperature data. For thicker ice, thickness is retrieved from a combination of SAR image and background level ice thickness chart Hi provided by HIGHTSI. B...
متن کاملAn Optimization Approach to Modeling Sea Ice Dynamics, Part 2: Finite Ice Strength Effects
The effects of a finite ice strength on a new model for sea ice dynamics, deriving the internal pressure field from a global optimization problem, rather than a local rheology, are examined. Building on the promising results from the one-dimensional Lagrangian model described previously, here we add one of the key properties of sea ice. In order to investigate the behavior of the model under ic...
متن کاملSar Polarimetry for Sea Ice Classification
Polarimetric SAR images acquired at Cand L-band over sea ice in the Greenland Sea, Baltic Sea, and Beaufort Sea have been analysed with respect to their potential for ice type classification. The polarimetric data were gathered by the Danish EMISAR and the US AIRSAR which both are airborne systems. For the test sites, complementary data about the characteristics of the ice cover and about the e...
متن کاملIterative Estimation of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Using SeaWinds Data
Polar sea ice extent is an important input to global climate models and is considered to be a sensitive indicator of climate change. An algorithm has previously been developed for sea ice extent detection using data from the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT). This paper discusses the extension of that algorithm to data from SeaWinds on QuikSCAT. Due to differences in the two instruments, several modif...
