Fully polarimetric (FP) and compact polarimetry (CP) modes are advanced technologies of
synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Compared to the parameters available from traditional …

Sea ice profoundly influences ocean circulation, the polar environment, biology, climate, and
commercial activities. The rapidly changing sea ice environment and increased human …

The aim of this article was to investigate the potential of polarimetric decomposition of
Chinese Gaofen-3 (GF-3) C-band fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data …

A characteristic analysis of sea ice is conducted using the classic Poincare ellipticity
parameter chi (χ) and the degree of polarization (m) from the Stokes parameters of the …

Utilizing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to understand and map sea ice roughness is an
active area of research. An object-based image analysis is here used to quantitatively link …

In this study, we investigate the influence of Arctic sea ice surface roughness on full
polarimetric C-band SAR features in the late summer season. Surface roughness measured …

In this paper, we present model and measurement results for C-band HH and VV normalized
radar cross-sections (NRCS) from winter snow-covered first-year sea ice with average snow …

Fully polarimetric (FP) SAR systems offer parameters that describe and quantify the
scattering mechanisms from the surface cover. These are usually derived from …

Over the last two decades, spaceborne polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) has
been widely used to penetrate sea ice surfaces to achieve fully polarimetric high-resolution …

Backscatter and derived parameters from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) may vary across
the swath as the incident angle increases from the near to the far range, especially in the …
