- HV improves the detection of the ice edge
|
- HH/HV ratio could improve discrimination of multi-year ice from first year ice (multi-year provides strong depolarized response while first year does not)
|
- Co-polarized ratio provides the best distinction between thin and new ice types from open water. This combination is available using quad-polarized data (narrow swath width) and will benefit specific regions-of-interest
|
- Improved ice topography and structure information
- Expected to provide some utility in enhancing discrimination between smooth and deformed ice
|
- Advantageous for detecting icebergs particularly at steeper incidence angles (below 35 degrees) and in higher sea states
|
- Right- and left-looking imaging provides the unique capability to image parts of Antarctica not accessible by other high-resolution satellites
