Adjusted sea ice classification methodology to satellite altimeter data based on existing airborne altimeter methodology

Earlier the possibility of sea ice classification using Airborne Synthetic Aperture and Interferometric Radar Altimeter System ASIRAS was demonstrated Significant differences between waveform shape parameters allowed to classify firstyearice and multiyear ice as well as leads by applying a Bayesian based method Further analyses are conducted to test how these results can be adapted to satellite borne altimeter systems
