Summary
Abstract: SIZEX-89 was an official pre-launch ERS-1 program where the main
objectives were to perform ERS-1 type sensors signature studies of
different ice types in order to develop SAR algorithms for ice
variables such as ice types, ice concentrations and ice kinematics.
SIZEX-89 was a multidisciplinary, international winter experiment
carried out in the Barents and the ... View entire text
