Polarimetric Backscattering Behavior of River Ice Cover
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many northern rivers of Canada, the formation of the ice covers leads to important situations: ice jamming, and then flooding of large areas. Thus, the monitoring of river ice is necessary. Gherboudj has developed a model in order to understand the interactions of the radar signal with the river ice cover. The model is improved to simulate the fully polarimetric response of a river ice cover. The aim of this work is to analyse the results of the simulations.

متن کاملPolarimetric analysis of iceberg and sea ice radar backscattering mechanisms for iceberg detection
Multi-polarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are in particular useful for identification and separation of different scattering mechanisms and their sources in a medium (Oliver & Quegan, 1998, p. 319). The Canadian RADARSAT-2 (RS-2) carries a fullypolarimetric SAR system which measures intensities at VV, HH, HV and VH-polarizations as well as phase differences between the different...
متن کاملMonitoring Soil Salinization in Keriya River Basin, Northwestern China Using Passive Reflective and Active Microwave Remote Sensing Data
Soil salinization is one of the most widespread soil degradation processes on Earth, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The salinized soil in arid to semi-arid Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China accounts for 31% of the area of cultivated land, and thus it is pivotal for the sustainable agricultural development of the area to identify reliable and cost-effective methodologies to mon...
متن کاملMonitoring Ice-onset on Lakes and Rivers in Northern Siberia with Terrasar-x Imagery
The timing and duration of ice-onset on lakes and river channels is a relevant climate signal since it is strongly driven by the air temperature. Space-borne imaging radar is a suitable tool for the detection of freeze processes, as the backscattering of radar waves is highly dependent on the dielectric properties of the surface. For this study, a time series of high-resolution TerraSAR-X image...
