Abstract:The NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) to be launched in August 1996 is designed to measure wind vectors over ice-free oceans. To prevent contamination of the wind measurements, by the presence of sea ice, an algorithm based on only NSCAT data is described. Results are presented for a neural network trained using dual linear polarized Ku-band backscatter measured by the SeaSat-A Satellite Scatterometer (SASS). These results demonstrate the utility of neural network classifiers to provide this ice flag. Results are pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
