Signatures of ice cover distribution on the Sakhalin shelf revealed by analysis of satellite remote sensing data for the period of December 2014 – April 2015 are considered. Application of satellite microwave passive and active (SAR and scatterometers) sensing data for the study of ice condition evolution in the areas of oil deposit and transportation is discussed. The focus is on GCOM-W1 AMSR2 radiometer measurements and Sentinel-1A SAR-C images. To interpret radar signatures, Aqua and Suomi NPP visible and infrared satellite images, MetOp-B scatterometer-derived wind fields and meteorological stations reports were involved. Variations of the structure and characteristics of the marginal ice zone at different wind speeds and directions are shown. Ice conditions around oil platforms and platforms interaction with drifting ice are described. It is shown that joint analysis of the multisensor satellite data allows us to determine ice cover concentration and surface wind speed, to identify ice types and estimate sea ice thickness. The information collected from several satellites increases time resolution, improves forecast of ice conditions and estimates of the impact of Arctic environment on oil platforms.
Keywords: remote sensing, sea ice, Okhotsk Sea, microwave radiometers,GCOM-W1 AMSR2, Sentinel-1ASAR, scatterometers, marginal ice zone, surface winds
