Abstract :
Discusses microwave radiometer measurements of the emission from saline ice for young ice. The instruments used are P-band, L-band, and S-band radiometers. The measurements were undertaken at a facility constructed by the U.S. Army cold regions research and engineering laboratory, which was specifically designed to satisfy remote sensing requirements
