9 Chart 9 Ice Type Classification Example Shokalsky Case TerraSAR-X image (ScanSAR) Aim: Classify the ice in near real time Main steps of the algorithm: 1. Select features 20 km 2. Feed the features into a neural network feature extraction feature a feature b feature c neural network fast ice First year thick ice First year ice open water with <1/10 ice of unspecified SoD open water unknown

10 DLR.de Chart 10 Improved Classification Result with polarimetric TS-X Data Ice classification Open Water First Year Ice Gray-white Ice Gray Ice Better Floe size Distribution Possible - Smaller Coverage though Features used: -copol power ratio, geometric intensity, -Scattering diversity, -span, -real part of copol cross product, -surface scattering fraction; -local variances of mentioned features Ressel et al, ESA, Pol-InSAR

11 DLR.de Chart 11 Floe size distribution Successive application of suitable filters and object detection to obtain a floe mask (exclude giant floes). Example: subsection of above image (Svalbard 2014/05/25, 14:33) 2014/05/25,TSX SM, σ HH + σ VV subsection Floe mask Workshop at SAMS, Oban

12 Operational Algorithms E Wind Field Ship, Wakes Land-Water-Line Sea State Bathymetry by Refraction Currents Oil Spills Breaking Waves Sea Ice, Icebergs

13 Wave Height at the Sea Ice Boundary Reasons for Ice Break Up, Ice Forming

14 WAVES PROPAGATION INTO THE SEA ICE The significant wave height reaches 18m during a storm south of Greenland. The waves are propagating into sea ice. With increasing distance to the ice edge the wave height decreases accompanied by an increase of wavelength.
