“…Since the launch of the SAR SAOCOM (Sateĺite Argentino de Observacioń COn Microondas) in 2018, the Argentine Naval Hydrographic Service (Servicio de Hidrografıá Naval, SHN) has incorporated the L-band in its ice charts (Scardilli et al, 2022). Studies with SAOCOM have been done for calibration (Azcueta et al, 2022), surface deformation (Roa et al, 2021;Viotto et al, 2021;De Luca et al, 2022), digital surface model generation (Seppi et al, 2021), soil salinity and moisture estimation (MaChado and Solorza, 2020;Anconitano et al, 2022), forest biomass retrieval (Blomberg et al, 2018), and glacial movement (Ferreyra et al, 2021). However, there were not published results of SAOCOM for sea ice and iceberg conditions (Lyu et al, 2022).…”
