Detecting Arctic Icebergs in Sea Ice in L-Band SAR Images Using a Multiscale CFAR Algorithm
This study proposes a multiscale extension of the well-known constant false alarm rate (CFAR) outlier detection method for the detection of icebergs in L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The proposed method offers the possibility to accurately

Subaperture analysis of polarimetric SAR data for iceberg detection [PDF]
This paper is focused on investigations of the improved detection of icebergs in open water using spectral analysis of polarimetric SAR data. The objectives of this study are to analyze the behavior of ice objects in open water using the sublook cross-correlation magnitude (SCM). It is shown that there is an improvement of iceberg-sea contrast when the

Ship-Iceberg Discrimination in Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imagery by Supervised Classification
The European Space Agency Sentinel-2 satellites provide multispectral images with pixel sizes down to 10 m. This high resolution allows for fast and frequent detection, classification and discrimination of various objects in the sea, which is relevant in

Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans [PDF]
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many of which are ...

The inheritance of resistance to bacterial leaf spot of lettuce caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians in three lettuce cultivars. [PDF]
Lettuce yields can be reduced by the disease bacterial leaf spot (BLS) caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians (Xcv) and host resistance is the most feasible method to reduce disease losses. The cultivars La Brillante, Pavane and Little
