Abstract :
The aim of this work is to present a process to enhance the image feature of the surface signature produce by the SAR sensor of the convective chimney discovered in March 2001 in the Greenland Sea. The procedure developed to extract the feature is described and some examples of the results of this study are presented and discussed.
