Master Control Design of Polar Detection Ice Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the design of the master control software dedicated for the application of high-resolution polar detection ice radar. The central part of proposed software is FPGA, which plays roles of collecting radar echo data, playback of chirp signal, data transmission to upper computer, coherent integral accumulation of digitized data and system control of the whole radar system. The performances of proposed system is demonstrated through real-field experiments.

Design and Simulation of a Polar Mobile Robot
This paper describes the design and simulation of a mobile robot for missions in polar regions. The robot was designed to provide mobility, power, precise positioning and environmental protection for a bistatic synthetic aperture radar for polar regions to measure ice thickness and other ice sheet characteristics. The robot is required to carry and protect the radar system and to tow a large an...
متن کاملAnalysis of Arctic clouds by means of hyper-spectral satellite
Polar satellite measurements provide frequent overpass on the Arctic area and high spatial resolution, but the cloud parameter retrieval and their detection is very difficult at high latitudes. In great part the Arctic surface is covered by snow and ice, reducing the visible contrast between clouds and the surface. Also, often there are strong surface temperature inversions and during the winte...
متن کاملA Design Concept for Spaceborne Imaging of the Base of Terrestrial Ice Sheets and Icy Bodies in the Outer Solar
Glaciers and ice sheets modulate global sea level by storing water deposited as snow on the surface and discharging water back into the ocean through melting and via icebergs. Only recently have we recognized, primarily from satellite observations, that the size of this frozen reservoir can change as demonstrated by the rapid thinning of Jacobshavn Glacier in Greenland [1], the Pine Island and ...
متن کاملA Wideband Radar for Mapping Internal Layers in the Polar Icesheets for Estimating Accumulation Rate
Determination of the mass balance of the polar ice sheets requires information on the accumulation rate. Remote sensing methods to determine the accumulation rate are essential in reducing the uncertainty associated with interpolating in situ measurements that are obtained from ice cores and pits. This is essential to reducing the 20% of uncertainty in current accumulation rate maps. Using data...
متن کاملAn ultra-wideband, microwave radar for measuring snow thickness on sea ice and mapping near-surface internal layers in polar firn
Sea ice is generally covered with snow, which can vary in thickness from a few centimeters to >1m. Snow cover acts as a thermal insulator modulating the heat exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere, and it impacts sea-ice growth rates and overall thickness, a key indicator of climate change in polar regions. Snow depth is required to estimate sea-ice thickness using freeboard measurements...
