Abstract
The employment of radars in remote sensing monitoring of polar regions is well known and largely proven practice today. In general the sea ice controls the heat transfer and mass-balance between the ocean-and the atmosphere. To interpret ice polarimetric signatures a composite microwave model is studied. The model relates the electromagnetic scattering from sea ice to its geophysical properties.
