Enhanced RADARSAT Geophyiscal Processor System (RGPS) Products over the SHEBA Ice Camp

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: To understand the dynamics associated with the opening and closing of leads over the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean. OBJECTIVES: The objective is to compile a dataset of the linear deformation patterns over the SHEBA ice camp that is suitable for use in understanding and parameterization of sub-grid scale deformation processes and their role in atmosphere/ocean interactions.
