Analysis of Sar Data of the Polar Oceans: Recent Advances

This is a collection of research on algorithms for the analysis of polar sea-ice SAR data. All algorithms are implemented and tested. One chapter is from the Alaskan SAR Facility, the major NASA archive of polar SAR data and a source of many SAR analysis algorithms, including high-level results of such analyses. Another chapter has been written jointly by the U.S. and Canadian Ice Centers, which provide, for example, operational sea-ice products to the shipping and oil-drilling industries and to polar explorations. This text seeks to be useful to all researchers in the polar sciences community.
