Abstract
The information content of ENVISAT ASAR alternating polarization data is evaluated with respect to operations at the Canadian Ice Service. A data set covering an entire ice season is shown to have a higher information content compared to single polarization data. The potential for automated information extraction is also investigated, in particular problems caused by system noise and its variation over the swath.
