Abstract

A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sea ice image analysis workstation is described. This is a SUN-based system, developed within the AYS environment and designed for the generation of operational sea ice products from the European Space Agency ERS-1 satellite data. The system development has been supported by the British National Space Centre, through the DRA Aerospace Division. 1 Introduction Remote sensing from satellite-based sensors provides an opportunity to monitor large areas of the Earth's surface with a degree of reliability and coverage not available using conventional airborne or ground-based sensors. In addition, the advent of radar, and in particular synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has resulted in a cap
