UHF RADIOMETER FOR REMOTE SENSING OF SHIPS, SEA ICE, ICEBERGS AND THE NORTHERN ENVIRONMENT

Results show that: (a) there is a clear distincition between the signature of an iceberg and that of ship, (b) icebergs can be clearly detected against the water background, (c) the radiometer signal from open pack ice, in a given area, correlates with the fractional ice cover and (d) the intensity of the radiation from water at the lower UHF frequencies is sensitive to the degree of salinity.
