Sea Ice Detection Based on Unambiguous Retrieval of Scattering Coefficient from GNSS-R Delay-Doppler Maps
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, a method is proposed for detecting sea ice based on the scattering coefficient (σ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sup> ) retrieved from Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) delay-Doppler maps (DDMs). First, a strategy for unambiguously retrieving the surface scattering coefficients is illustrated, by employing the spatial integration approach (SIA) and the multi-scan technique. Next, the application of this proposed scheme for sea ice remote sensing is demonstrated using DDMs acquired from the U.K. TechDemoSat-l (TDS-l) mission and verified with the collocated reference sea ice concentration (SIC) data obtained by Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS sensors. The test results show that the proposed method offers a new solution to sea ice detection and a feasible aspect for resolving the ambiguity in the retrieval of σ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sup> from GNSS-R DDMs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
