AKROSS: Altimetric Ku-Band Radar Observations Simulated with SMRT
Prime company: CORES SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING LIMIT (GB)Accurate estimates of sea ice thickness are essential for numerical weather prediction, ice extent forecasts for navigability and to demonstrate the impacts of climate change on sea ice. The main source of uncertainty in sea ice thickness measurements from radar altimetry is due to snow. Scattering of the radar signal as it travels through snow …
