Detecting ice on a narrow river using satellite radar remote sensing

Satellite radar imagery is commonly used to detect ice on large rivers in the context of river ice formation, ice jam flood forecasting, flow management, and navigation. Products from the Sentinel-1 satellite come in 10m x 10m resolution (or coarser) and have been used to classify ice on rivers wider than 100m. However, this resolution…Continue Reading Detecting ice on a narrow river using satellite radar remote sensing
