In a changing climate, monitoring the ice cover is an urgent task. For monitoring, sensors are used that operate in the optical, IR and microwave (MW) ranges. Modern orbital radiometers provide global coverage and prompt information acquisition. Due to the influence of the atmosphere, the restoration of surface parameters is performed with an error and the use of radar systems can provide an increase in accuracy. The paper considers the results of sounding the ice cover with a dual-frequency precipitation radar DPR (Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar) and a multichannel scanning MW radiometer GMI from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite. It is shown that the ice edge is reliably determined by the ice-water radar contrast at small angles of incidence. For the first time, an algorithm was developed for determining the ice concentration by radar measurements in the Ku-band (frequency 13.6 GHz) at small incidence angles, which was tested using measurements in the Sea of Okhotsk in the winter of 2016–2017. A comparison with the data of the AMSR2 radiometer has been carried out, which has confirmed the operability of the algorithm and the rationale of a combined use of passive and active MW measurements when probing the ice cover.
Keywords: ice concentration, dual-frequency precipitation radar, small incidence angles, backscatter radar cross section, multifrequency radiometers GMI and AMSR2, processing algorithms
