Abstract :
Airborne microwave radiometer measurements of lake ice have been performed in 2004, 2007, and 2011 in southern Finland. The HUTRAD radiometer system provided data in the 6.9 to 36.5 GHz range using an incidence angle of 50 degrees off nadir. In 2011 also the interferometric HUT-2D radiometer was used to provide 1.4 GHz imagery of lake ice.
