C-Band Multiple Polarization SAR for Ice Monitoring – What Can It Do for the Canadian Ice Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through the use of Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarization (AP) mode data, the Applied Science Section of the Canadian Ice Service (CIS) has been investigating the utility of multiple polarization SAR data for operational ice monitoring. This work will help CIS develop initial guidelines and recommendations for use of multiple polarization data in preparation for future SAR missions, RADARSAT-2, Sentinel-1 and the RADARSAT Constellation.

What Is Gained by Using an L-band Sar for Sea Ice Monitoring ?
RESUME For sea ice monitoring by means of radar remote sensing, systems operating at C-band are regarded as an optimal choice. In a number of studies that have been published since the early 90s it was found, however, that sea ice types can be better discriminated at L-band than at C-band provided that more than one polarization is available. For special tasks, such as imaging sea ice ridges an...

We examine an extensive synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data set from the Arctic Ocean spanning a time period from January to June 2015, with the aim of identifying multi-polarization parameters that can be used to accurately separate newly formed sea ice from the surroundings. Newly formed sea ice areas both provide favourable routing for ship traffic, and are key to Arctic climate science beca...

متن کاملImproving Sea Ice Characterization in Dry Ice Winter Conditions Using Polarimetric Parameters from C- and L-Band SAR Data
Sea ice monitoring and classification is one of the main applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing. C-band SAR imagery is regarded as an optimal choice for sea ice applications; however, other SAR frequencies has not been extensively assessed. In this study, we evaluate the potential of fully polarimetric L-band SAR imagery for monitoring and classifying sea ice during dry w...
