摘要: An attempt has been made to derive sea ice freeboard from Ka-band Altimeter (SARAL/AltiKa) over Arctic region for 15 March–15 April 2013 (spring) and September–15 October (autumn). A waveform template matching technique is employed classification of leads floe pixels. The estimated freeboards were found in close agreement with “Operation IceBridge quick look” (RMSD = 0.30 m). differences between the two largely due snow layer (R 0.8). order 0.08–0.15 m during seasons.
