Sentinel-1-based differentiation of multi-year ice (MYI), one-year ice (FYI), new ice, open channels (leads) and deformed or rough ice.

Sentinel-1-based differentiation of multi-year ice (MYI), one-year ice (FYI), new ice, open channels (leads) and deformed or rough ice.
The ice classes provide information about the navigability of a body of water. The various polarization channels of Sentinel-1 are evaluated for classification purposes.
