Arctic sea ice microwave signature and geophysical processes studyStudies on the validation and utilization of ERS-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) derived liquid and solid ocean information and the study of the interregional, regional, and temporal variation of the microwave signatures of sea ice and snow, are reported. Initial interests are focused on the accuracy of the estimates of ice type, ice form, deformation state, or thickness, and the ability to retrieve ice physical property information. Two in situ campaigns were conducted for the purpose of 'truth' ERS-1 SAR products and to gather data in support of the above science studies.
