Detection of Ice Sheet Elevation and Grounding Line Using ALOS / PALSAR Data
This paper describes the research plan to use ALOS / PALSAR data for Antarctic ice sheet analysis. The final goal of our study is to extract the precise ice sheet elevation and estimate accurate position of grounding line using ALOS / PALSAR data. The authors have been studying the grounding line and ice sheet topography from InSAR data, which mainly used ERS-1/2 tandem data. We plan to adopt t...
متن کاملAntarctic Ice Shelf Tide Modeling Using PALSAR Interferometry
The knowledge of ocean tides underneath permanently or seasonally sea ice covered ocean and ice shelves over Antarctica, is largely unknown. Significant amount of West Antarctic ice sheet melt is through the mechanism of basal melting and due to turbulent tidal mixing. Knowledge of the ice shelf grounding lines and their extent, are critical to accurately quantify ice sheet mass balance, and oc...
متن کاملRecent dramatic thinning of largest West Antarctic ice stream triggered by oceans
A growing body of observational data suggests that PineIsland Glacier (PIG) is changing on decadal or shorter timescales. These changes may have far-reaching consequences for the future of the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) and global sea levels because of PIG’s role as the icesheet’s primary drainage portal. We test the hypothesis that these changes are triggered by the adjoining ocean.Specif...
متن کاملDevelopment of sea-ice thickness algorithm from PALSAR data, combined with in-situ observations and other satellite data
In order to estimate the sea-ice thickness distribution in the seasonal ice zone (SIZ), we are developing the algorithm with PALSAR data. As a preliminary step, airborne Polarimetric and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pi-SAR) observation, conducted in the southern Sea of Okhotsk in February 2005, was examined to validate the retrieval of ice thickness distribution from L-band SAR. In...
متن کاملMapping of Ice Motion in Antarctica Using Synthetic-Aperture Radar Data
Ice velocity is a fundamental parameter in studying the dynamics of ice sheets. Until recently, no complete mapping of Antarctic ice motion had been available due to calibration uncertainties and lack of basic data. Here, we present a method for calibrating and mosaicking an ensemble of InSAR satellite measurements of ice motion from six sensors: the Japanese ALOS PALSAR, the European Envisat A...
