Progress in Polar Oceans Research Using ERS - 1 Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Data from IRS-1, especially from the AMI Image Mode, or SAR, have been particularly useful in providing data on ice type and motion and oceanic mesoscale featuxes. These data have been used in studies of ocean and ice circulation, climate processes, mesoscale processes near the ice edge, freshwater fluxes, and convection, and have also proved useful in support of operations in ice covered seas,

Satellite 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 کاملPolar Oceans
We survey progress in studies of ocean circulation, water mass formation, and ocean-ice interaction in both the Southern Ocean and the Arctic region during the period 1983-86. This review places emphasis on U.S. publications, but other significant work is included. It is not meant to be a complete synthesis of polar oceanography of the last four years, but rather to provide an overview of progr...

Mitchell, B.G., 1992. Predictive bio-optical relationships for polar oceans and marginal ice zones. J. Mar. Syst., 3: 91-105. An analysis of more than 500 stations from polar seas was undertaken to evaluate predictive models linking in situ phytoplankton pigment concentrations to measurable optical parameters. The data set consists of profiles of spectral downwelling irradiance [Ed(A], upwellin...
متن کاملD-InSAR Research at IIT Bombay - Simulation Experiments Synchronous with ERS 1/2 Tandem Passes
During tandem period of ERS-1/2 (April June 1996), field experiments were conducted in Bhavnagar test site with Corner Reflectors (CRs) to study the sensitivity of differential SAR interferometry to estimate the movements of CRs. Initially, three images acquired on April 4, 5 and May 9, 1996 were processed to generate interferograms. Using single interferogram formed with April 4 and May 9, dur...
متن کاملA Case Study of Polar Low Detection Using ERS-2 Wave Mode Image
An empirical approach for detecting polar lows is developed based on satellite data from two sensors: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wave mode image on board ERS-2 satellite and AVHRR image on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) family of polar orbiting platforms (i. e. POES). This approach is primarily based on 10m wind field and wave height besides the latitudinal...
