Assimilation of ice and water observations from SAR imagery to improve estimates of sea ice concentration

Assimilation of ice and water observations from SAR imagery to improve estimates of sea ice concentration

In this paper, the assimilation of binary observations calculated from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of sea ice is investigated. Ice and water observations are obtained from a set of SAR images by thresholding ice and water probabilities calculated using a supervised maximum likelihood estim...
