Abstract
On an individual orbit basis, QSCAT data does not permit an efficient separation of sea ice from open water. It is shown how the use of the simultaneous H-pol temperatures provided by the radiometer-like processing of the data, QRAD, improves the sorting of sea ice areas from open ocean zones
