About this book

SEA ICE

The latest edition of the gold standard in sea ice references

In the newly revised second edition of Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an in-depth review of the features and structural properties of ice, as well as the latest advances in geophysical sensors, ice parameter retrieval techniques, and remote sensing data. The book has been updated to reflect the latest scientific developments in macro- and micro-scale sea ice research.

For this edition, the authors have included high-quality photographs of thin sections from cores of various ice types, as well as a comprehensive account of all major field expeditions that have systematically surveyed sea ice and its properties. Readers will also find:

A thorough introduction to ice physics and physical processes, including ice morphology and age-based structural features
Practical discussions of radiometric and radar-scattering observations from sea ice, including radar backscatter and microwave emission
The latest techniques for the retrieval of sea ice parameters from space-borne and airborne sensor data
New chapters on sea ice thermal microwave emissions and on the impact of climate change on polar sea ice

Perfect for academic researchers working on sea ice, the cryosphere, and climatology, Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing will also benefit meteorologists, marine operators, and high-latitude construction engineers.
