      Cristea, Anca; Johansson, Malin; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Brekke, Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-12)
      Low backscatter signatures in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery are characteristic to surfaces that are highly smooth and specular reflective of microwave radiation. In the Arctic, these typically represent newly formed sea ice, oil spills, and localized weather phenomena such as low wind or rain cells. The operational monitoring of low backscatter targets can benefit from a stronger integration ...

    • On the determination of ionospheric electron density profiles using multi-frequency riometry 

      McKay, Derek; Vierinen, Juha; Kero, Antti; Partamies, Noora (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-27)
      Radio wave absorption in the ionosphere is a function of electron density, collision frequency, radio wave polarisation, magnetic field and radio wave frequency. Several studies have used multi-frequency measurements of cosmic radio noise absorption to determine electron density profiles. Using the framework of statistical inverse problems, we investigated if an electron density altitude profile ...
    • Performance Analysis of Roll-Invariant PolSAR Parameters from C-band images with Regard to Sea Ice Type Separation 

      Ratha, Debanshu; Johansson, Malin; Marinoni, Andrea; Eltoft, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06)
      The Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) backscatter from a target is dependent on the incidence angle. Consequently, the associated roll invariant parameters are affected by changes in incidence angle. In this work, we identify a few of these parameters that remain robust in identifying sea ice features even under large incidence angle variations. We conclude that the helicity angle ...
    • An alternative approach for calculating the SAR damping ratio of verified oil slicks 

      Quigley, Cornelius Patrick; Johansson, Malin; Jones, Cathleen Elaine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The damping ratio is a calculated feature that measures the contrast between oil-slicked water and the open ocean in SAR data. To implement the damping ratio, the current literature suggests estimating the open water backscatter by taking strips of undefined width across the range direction, obtaining the damping ratio as a function of incidence angle. We show in this paper that the method proposed ...
    • Horizontal Wavenumber Spectra of Vertical Vorticity and Horizontal Divergence of Mesoscale Dynamics in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere Using Multistatic Specular Meteor Radar Observations
