Research methods of ice characteristics of water bodies

Abstract

Research methods of ice characteristics of water bodies

Baklagin V.N.

Incoming article date: 22.02.2018

The paper is devoted to an overview of the methods of ice characteristics of water bodies studies (such as an indicator of the ice cover, the timing and duration of the phases of ice regime). The advantages of the use of multispectral satellite imagery to assess ice conditions of water bodies over the other methods are listed. The difficulties of obtaining data on a particular water body under study are shown. These difficulties appear because of the identification problems of the water body when interpreting satellite images (maps).

Keywords: ice characteristics, water, earth remote sensing, interpretation, multispectral imagery
