Active and Passive Remote Sensing of Ice.

Abstract

This is a report on the progress that has been made in the study of active and passive remote sensing of ice during the period of August 1, 1984-January 31, 1985. During this period we have: (1) developed a two-layer anisotropic random medium model to exploit the anisotropic effect of sea ice for active and passive microwave remote sensing, (2) used the strong fluctuation theory and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to calculate the brightness temperatures from a bounded layer of random discrete scatterers with the zeroth and first order approximations, and (3) participated in the microwave sea ice measurement program at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in New Hampshire.
