SEA ICE-75. IR-SCANNER RESULTS

The field experiment in the Gulf of Bothnia has shown that thermal infrared sensing can be used to differentiate ice from water and new ice from old, thicker ice. Special features, such as rafting patterns, ridges and cracks, are correlated to thermal variations and can be detected and identified in the thermal image.
