Norwegian remote sensing experiment in a marginal ice zone.

چکیده
The Norwegian Remote Sensing Experiment in the marginal ice zone north of Svalbard took place in fall 1979. Coordinated passive and active microwave measurements were obtained from shipborne, airborne, and satellite instruments together with in situ observations. The obtained spectra of emissivity (frequency range, 5 to 100 gigahertz) should improve identification of ice types and estimates of ice concentration. Mesoscale features along the ice edge were revealed by a 1.215-gigahertz synthetic aperture radar. Ice edge location by the Nimbus 7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer was shown to be accurate to within 10 kilometers.

13: Radar Remote Sensing of Ice and Sea State and Air-Sea Interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone
The goals of this project are to utilize shipborne remote sensing to understand the scattering and attenuation process of ocean waves interacting with ice. A dedicated nautical X-band radar on a vessel would be used to follow the propagation of waves into the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and observe the attenuation and scattering of wave modes from the floating ice as well as estimate surface wind a...

متن کاملAutomatic Detection of the Ice Edge in SAR Imagery Using Curvelet Transform and Active Contour
A novel method based on the curvelet transform and active contour method to automatically detect the ice edge in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is proposed. The method utilizes the location of high curvelet coefficients to determine regions in the image likely to contain the ice edge. Using an ice edge from passive microwave sea ice concentration for initialization, these regions are th...
