A Study on Sea Ice Observation in the Sea Okhotsk by Polarimetric SAR

Since polarimetric SAR data are powerful tools to derive scattering mechanism of the observation target, it is expected to give us more detailed information in sea ice monitoring. Electro-Magnetic (EM) measurement for sea ice was conducted during the Soya cruise period in February, 2004. Pi-SAR/L-band polarimetric data simultaneously acquired during the ship cruise were compared with the sea ice thickness and the surface roughness derived by EM measurement. RR-LL coherence is related to sea ice surface roughness in lower incidence angle, while VV to HH backscattering ratio in higher incidence angle is also related to sea ice thickness.
