Abstract:Oil thickness in oil spills involving sea ice is a key parameter required for an effective oil spill response; however, quantifying it from radar backscatter data remains a difficult task. We investigated a possible solution for estimating oil slick thickness by using electromagnetic forward and inverse scattering models of oil-covered newly formed sea ice (NI). Our forward model employs a first-order approximation of a multilayered small perturbation method to predict two copolarization C-band radar backscatt… Show more
