Abstract

Data from ERS-1, especially from the AMI Image Mode, or SAR, have been particularly useful in providing data on ice type and motion and oceanic mesoscale features. These data have been used in studies of ocean and ice circulation, climate processes, mesoscale processes near the ice edge, freshwater fluxes, and convection, and have also proved useful in support of operations in ice covered seas
