Possible Applications of GEOSAT-A Radar Altimeter Data to Ice Forecasting in Polar Regions.

Backscatter data recorded by satellite-borne radar altimeters that cross polar regions are potential sources of information that can be used to assess the general character of the ice pack, to locate the edge of ice-covered seas, and to delineate polynyas, leads, and areas of open water within the p...
