Objective(s): To develop an understanding of physical processes operating across the ocean-ice-atmosphere interface - to link these processes to both geophysical and biophysical characteristics of this interface and - to develop methodologies by which these characteristics can be measured remotely using current and near future remote sensing technologies;
Project Description: The primary objective of the research is to characterize the physical processes of the ice/ocean/atmosphere interface and to develop the capability to measure the pertinent variables using remote sensing data. The operational monitoring which can be provided by satellite remote sensing, is a necessary prerequisite to understanding the impacts of CO2 induced warming of the ice covered regions of the Canadian Arctic.
