Abstract

In February 2003, sea ice thickness measurements usingelectromagnetic induction (EM) based instrument were madein the Gulf of Bothnia and Gulf of Finland. We have madecomparisons between the EM measurements and Radarsat-1 ScanSAR Wide mode SAR data, and also between ouroperational sea ice products (digitized ice thickness charts, andice thickness charts refined by the latest Radarsat-1 image).The SAR images are in 100 m resolution, and the otherproducts are in 500 m resolution.
