Dependence between standard deviation and measurement length for C-band backscattering signatures of the Baltic Sea ice
- Published 2006 in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote…
Abstract
This paper studies whether the standard deviation (std) of the Baltic Sea ice backscattering coefficient (sigmadeg) depends on the length of measurement (l). For many kinds of surfaces, especially for a fractal one, this is the case. The study was conducted using one-dimensional C-band helicopter-borne scatterometer data and ENVISAT synthetic aperture radar… (More)
