Abstract
We present methods to utilise CryoSat-2 (CS-2) synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) mode data in operational ice charting. We compare CS-2 data
qualitatively to SAR mosaics over the Barents
and Kara seas. Furthermore, we compare the CS-2 to archived
operational ice charts. We present distributions of four CS-2 waveform
parameters for different ice types as presented in the ice charts. We
go on to present an automatic classification method for CS-2 data
which, after training with operational ice charts, is capable of
determining open ocean from ice with a hit rate of > 90 %.
The training data are dynamically updated every 5
days using the most recent 15 days of CS-2 data and operative ice
charts. This helps the adaption of the classifier to the evolving
ice/snow conditions throughout winter. The classifier is also capable
of detecting three different ice classes (thin and thick first-year
ice as well as old ice) with success rates good enough for the output
to be usable to support operational ice charting. Finally, we present
a near-real-time CS-2 product just plotting the waveform
characteristics and conclude that even such a simple product is usable
for some of the needs of ice charting.
