  • Abstract
    We have studied the estimation of the Baltic Sea ice thickness based on a thermodynamic ice model and SAR data to produce ice thickness charts (ITCs) for navigation. Our new algorithm, also taking into account the ice motion between successive SAR images, has shown promising results.
