High spatial and temporal resolution L- and C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar data analysis from the yearlong MOSAiC expedition
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
In the yearlong MOSAIC expedition (2019-2020) R/V Polarstern drifted with sea ice through the Arctic Ocean, with the goal to continually monitor changes in the coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere system throughout the seasons. A substantial amount of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images overlapping the campaign was collected. Here, we investigate the change in polarimetric features over sea ice from the freeze up to the advanced melt season using fully polarimetric L-band images from the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 and fully polarimetric C-band images from the RADARSAT-2 satellite SAR sensors. Three different sea ice types are investigated, young ice, level first year ice and deformed first and second-year ice. Areas of deformed and level sea ice were observed in the vicinity of R/V Polarstern and these areas are included whenever possible in the yearlong time series. Comparing the different sea ice types, we observe that during the freezing season there is a larger difference in the co-polarization channels between smooth and deformed ice in L-band compared to C-band. Similar to earlier findings we observe larger differences between young ice and deformed ice backscatter values in the L-band data compared to the C-band data. Moreover, throughout the year the HV-backscatter values show larger differences between level and deformed sea ice in L-band than C-band. The L-band data variability is significantly smaller for the level sea ice compared to the deformed sea ice, and this variability was also smaller than that observed for the overlapping C-band data. Thus L-band data could be more suitable to reliable separate deformed from level sea ice areas. Within the L-band images a noticeable shift towards higher backscatter values in early melt season compared to the freezing season for all polarimetric channels is observed, though no such strong trend is found in the C-band data. The change in backscatter values is first noticeable in the C-band images and later followed by a change in the L-band images, probably caused by their different penetration depth and volume scattering sensitivities. This change also results in a smaller backscatter variability. The polarization difference (PD; VV-HH on a linear scale) show a seasonal dependency for the smooth and deformed sea ice within the L-band data, whereas for the C-band data no such trend is observed. For the L-band data were the PD variability for all ice classes reasonably small for the freezing season, with a significant shift towards larger variability during the early melt season, though during this time period the mean PD values remained similar. However, once the temperatures reached above 0°C both the variability and the mean values increased significantly. Overall, our results demonstrate that the C- and L-band data are complementary to one another and that through their slightly different dependencies on season and sea ice types, a combination of the two frequencies can aid improved sea ice classification. The availability of a high spatial and temporal resolution dataset combined with in-situ information ensures that seasonal changes can be fully explored.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
