Impact of varying solar angles on Arctic iceberg area retrieval from Sentinel-2 near-infrared data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-18)Icebergs are part of the glacial mass balance and they interact with the ocean and with sea ice. Optical satellite remote sensing is often used to retrieve the above-waterline area of icebergs. However, varying solar angles introduce an error to the iceberg area retrieval that had not been quantified. Herein, we approximate the iceberg area error for top-of-atmosphere Sentinel-2 near-infrared data ... -
