Gs. Bordonskii et al., EFFECT OF MECHANICAL DEFORMATIONS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC LOSSES IN FRESH-WATER ICE COVER IN THE CENTIMETER BAND, Earth observation and remote sensing, 14(1), 1996, pp. 43-50
The results of radar examination of freshwater ice cover in the centim
etre band are presented. It is established that when mechanical stress
es develop in the ice, a change in the value of the electromagnetic lo
sses is observed. This phenomenon may be used as a remote indicator of
regions of freshwater ice cover subject to thermal, seismic, tidal an
d other effects from the environment.
