Active and Passive Remote Sensing of Ice.
Abstract
During this period we have: (1) developed a two-layer anisotropic random medium model to exploti the anisotropic effect of sea ice for active and passive microwave remote sensing, (2) used the Feynman diagrammatic technique in selectively summing and infinite perturbation series to include multiple scattering effects due to secularities that occur in the series for long-distance propagation, (3) extended the study of the two-layer anisotropic random medium model to a layer of isotropic random medium on top of a layer of anisotropic random medium in order to simulate the snow-covered ice fields for active microwave remote sensing, (4) used the strong fluctuation theory and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to calculate the brightness temperature from a bounded layer of random discrete scatters with the zeroth and first order approximations, and (5) participated in the microwave sea ice measurement program at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laborataory (CRREL) in New Hampshire.
