Remote Sensing of Sea Ice and Icebergs

Describes the latest remote sensing technologies used to detect ice hazards in the marine environment; map surface currents, sea–state and surface winds; study ice dynamics, over ice transportation, oil spill countermeasures, climate changes and ice reconnaisance. Includes such technologies as acoustic sensing, ice–thickness measurement, passive microwave remote sensing, ground wave and surface–based radars.
