Abstract:
An ice analyzer includes processing circuitry configured to receive a radiometer image including a geographic area including ice, receive a radar image including at least a portion of the geographic area, perform ice/water discrimination of the radiometer image and the radar image, generate a passive ice/water mask and an active ice/water mask based on the ice/water discrimination, merge the passive ice/water mask and the active ice/water mask into a typing mask, and type the ice based on the typing mask.
