Sea Ice Warning Visualization and Path Planning for Ice Navigation Based on Radar Image Recognition

Satellite-Based Sea Ice Navigation for Prydz Bay, East Antarctica

Sea ice adversely impacts nautical, logistical and scientific missions in polar regions. Ship navigation benefits from up-to-date sea ice analyses at both regional and local scales. This study presents a satellite-based sea ice navigation system (SatSINS) that integrates observations and scientific output from remote sensing and meteorological data to develop optimum marine navigational routes ...

SAR Sea Ice Recognition Using Texture Methods

With the development of remote sensing techniques, a vast amount of SAR sea ice imagery is being provided by satellite platforms. As an important aspect of measurement, monitoring, and understanding of sea ice evolution during the seasons, the generation of ice type maps is a fundamental step in the interpretation of these data. The abundant texture information in SAR imagery is useful for segm...

ApL D2p radar Altimeter over Land and sea ice

easuring changes in the cryosphere from satellite-based altimeters has and will continue to provide data that are essential to our understanding of the long-term trends of the earth’s ice cover. over the past years, ApL has played a major role in airborne field activities observing continental ice sheets, outlet glaciers, and sea ice using the delayDoppler phase-monopulse (D2p) airborne radar a...

Frost flower formation on sea ice and lake ice

[1] Frost flowers are clusters of ice crystals found on freshly formed sea ice and occasionally on frozen lakes. They belong to a class of vapour-related phenomena that includes freezing fog, hoar frost and dew. It has hitherto been supposed that they form by condensation from a supersaturated atmosphere or from water wicked up through porous sea ice. Here we show that they can form on solid, p...

Ice Growth on Sea Surface and Drift of Ice
