Sea ice extent from satellite microwave sensors
provide a convenient way to monitor the vast expanses of sea ice in the Polar Regions and this is done primarily using microwave techniques, which contrary to optical instruments, can operate at night and in all-weather conditions. The determination of sea ice extents from satellite platforms can be exploited as a marker for climate change, a navigation tool and a reference for coupled ocean-ic...
متن کاملSatellite Microwave Radar Observations of Climate-related Sea-ice Anomalies
Since 1991 a number of international satellites have collected microwave radar image data over Arctic and Antarctic sea ice. The recent successful launch of the ADEOS I satellite, with the NASA NSCAT instrument, also enables additional weather-independent global sea-ice radar data to be acquired and archived in the US. With its pair of 500 km-wide parallel swathes, this radar scatterometer is c...
متن کاملSatellite Microwave Radar Observations of Antarctic Sea Ice
Since 1991, the European Space Agency’s two ERS satellites have acquired microwave radar data of Antarctica. ERS data have been recorded by two receiving stations, one German, one Japanese. The former has allowed direct downlink and recording of high bit-rate, high resolution SAR image data of the Weddell and Bellingshausen Seas during station campaigns. The latter has enabled some data from th...
متن کاملEnhanced Sea Ice Concentrations from Passive Microwave Data
1. Introduction Sea ice concentration is usually defined as the fraction of ice covered area within an observational field, which in our case is the footprint of the satellite sensor. This assumes that the ocean surface is binary, i.e., either ice covered or ice free. With the binary characterization of the ice covered surface in mind, ice concentration can be quantified from satellite instrume...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Third and Fourth Stokes Parameters by Fully Polarimetric Microwave Radiometer Measurement over Antarctic Sea Ice
Wen LU, Shao-bo WANG, Rui WANG Institute of Meteorology & oceanography, PLA University of Science & Technology, Nanjing 211101, China Introduction: WindSat is the first spaceborne fully polarimetric microwave radiometer in the world. It can measure the third and fourth Stokes parameters of the target and provide a new way for sea ice remote sensing. By using WindSat data in 2004, we studied on ...
