First-year sea ice melt pond fraction estimation from dual-polarisation C-band SAR – Part 1: In situ observations
Understanding the evolution of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice is important for climate model parameterisations, weather forecast models and process studies involving mass, energy and biogeochemical exchanges across the ocean–sea ice–atmosphere interface. A field campaign was conducted in a region of level first-year sea ice (FYI) in the central Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA), during the summer...
متن کاملExtraction of Late Summer Sea Ice Properties from Polarimetric Sar Features in C- and X- Band
In this study we examine the potential use of six polarimetric features for interpretation of late summer sea ice types. Five high-resolution C and X-band scenes were recorded in the Fram Strait covering fast first-year and old sea ice. In addition sea ice thickness, surface roughness and melt pond fraction were collected during a helicopter flight at the study area. From the SAR scenes, six po...
متن کاملRetrieval of Melt Ponds on Arctic Multiyear Sea Ice in Summer from TerraSAR-X Dual-Polarization Data Using Machine Learning Approaches: A Case Study in the Chukchi Sea with Mid-Incidence Angle Data
Melt ponds, a common feature on Arctic sea ice, absorb most of the incoming solar radiation and have a large effect on the melting rate of sea ice, which significantly influences climate change. Therefore, it is very important to monitor melt ponds in order to better understand the sea ice-climate interaction. In this study, melt pond retrieval models were developed using the TerraSAR-X dual-po...
متن کاملA model of the three‐dimensional evolution of Arctic melt ponds on first‐year and multiyear sea ice
[1] During winter the ocean surface in polar regions freezes over to form sea ice. In the summer the upper layers of sea ice and snow melts producing meltwater that accumulates in Arctic melt ponds on the surface of sea ice. An accurate estimate of the fraction of the sea ice surface covered in melt ponds is essential for a realistic estimate of the albedo for global climate models. We present ...
متن کاملLate-summer sea ice segmentation with multi-polarisation SAR features in C and X band
In this study, we investigate the potential of sea ice segmentation by Cand X-band multi-polarisation synthetic aperture radar (SAR) features during late summer. Five highresolution satellite SAR scenes were recorded in the Fram Strait covering iceberg-fast first-year and old sea ice during a week with air temperatures varying around 0 C. Sea ice thickness, surface roughness and aerial photogra...
