The determination of the 0.° versus θ0 dependence was based on SAR image pairs acquired on ascending and descending orbits over the same sea ice area with a short time difference. The SAR noise floor was subtracted from the HV images. From the image pairs 1.1 by 1.1 km windows representing level first-year ice (LFYI) and deformed first-year ice (DFYI) were manually selected, and a linear regression was fit between the resulting 0.° and θ0 differences of the windows to estimate the slope b1 (dB/1°) between 0.° and θ0. For example, under winter condition b1 for DFYI at HHand HV-polarizations was found to be -0.24 and -0.16 dB/1°, respectively, and b1 for LFYI at HH-polarization was -0.25 dB/1°. It was not possible to determine a reliable b1 for LFYI at HV due to a contamination effect of the S-1 noise floor. The b1 values at HH compared well with previous studies. They can be used to compensate the 0.° incidence angle variation in the S-1 EW SAR images with good accuracy. The HH b1 values are applicable to other S-1 imaging modes and other C-band SAR sensors like RADARSAT-2. Unfortunately, the HV b1 values are specific to the S-1 EW mode due to the noise floor problem.

We have developed and tested a method for estimation of the Baltic Sea SIC using SENTINEL-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 passive microwave radiometer (MWR) data. Here, we present the method and results for January 2016. Ice concentration grids of Finnish Meteorological Institute daily ice charts have been used as reference data in this paper. We present a comparison of four SIC estimation methods with our reference data. In addition to the combined SAR/MWR SIC estimation method, we also compare SIC estimates produced using SAR alone and two MWR-based methods. The main target of this paper was to develop and test a high-resolution SIC estimation method suitable for operational use.
