On the Retrieval of Sea Ice Thickness and Snow Depth using Concurrent Laser Altimetry and L-Band Remote Sensing Data
The accurate knowledge of sea ice parameters, including sea ice thickness and snow depth over the sea ice cover, are key to both climate studies and data assimilation in operational forecasts. Large-scale active and passive remote sensing is the basis for the estimation of these parameters. In traditional altimetry or the retrieval of snow depth with passive microwave sensing, although the sea ...
متن کاملLaboratory measurements of sea ice: connections to microwave remote sensing
The connections between laboratory measurements and remote-sensing observations of sea ice are explored. The focus of this paper is on thin ice, which is more easily simulated in a laboratory environment. We summarize results of C-band scatterometer measurements and discuss how they may help in the interpretation of remote-sensing data. We compare the measurements with observations of thin ice ...
متن کاملPassive Microwave Remote Sensing for Sea Ice Thickness Retrieval Using Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm
Over the years, global warming has gained much attention from the global community. The fact that the sea ice plays an important role and has significant effects towards the global climate has prompted scientists to conduct various researches on the sea ice in the Polar Regions. One of the important parameters being studied is the sea ice thickness as it is a direct key indication towards the c...
متن کاملSatellite Remote Sensing of Snow Depth on Antarctic Sea Ice: An Inter-Comparison of Two Empirical Approaches
Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a key role for sea ice physical processes and complicates retrieval of sea ice thickness using altimetry. Current methods of snow depth retrieval are based on satellite microwave radiometry, which perform best for dry, homogeneous snow packs on level sea ice. We introduce an alternative approach based on in-situ measurements of total (sea ice plus snow) freeboard...
متن کاملPossibility of Estimating Seasonal Snow Depth Based Solely on Passive Microwave Remote Sensing on the Greenland Ice Sheet in Spring
Sea level rise related to the melting and thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), a subject of growing concern in recent years, will eventually affect the global climate. Although the melting of snow on the GrIS is actively monitored by passive microwave remote sensing, very few studies have estimated the seasonal GrIS snow depth using this technique. In this study, to estimate seasonal sno...
