| Abstract | A combined spatial and frequency domain interferometer or angular and frequency correlation (ACF/FCF) between two radar beams in the VHF-band is applied for the direct measurement of sea-ice thickness. This measurement is critical because the thickness of sea ice within the polar region indicates the state of ocean circulation and the associated air-sea heat exchange, which profoundly affects the global heat balance and ocean thermohaline circulation. This new instrument technology - cryospheric advanced sensor (CAS) - can measure sea-ice thickness, tilling a critical gap in measuring the polar region. In this paper, we present the algorithm development and demonstration by simulations of estimating the height of the sea-ice that led to the robust design of CAS interferometric system. Sea-ice thickness is derived from the interferometric phase of the ACF/FCF function of two VHF-band-scattered returns of two radar waves that have different frequencies, incident angles, and observation angles. The inversion calculation to estimate the ice thickness is based on several methods, gradient-descent (GD). least-square (LSQ) method, and genetic algorithm (GA). Compared with a GD method, and LSQ method, GA does not require the knowledge of the derivative of the ACF/FCF function. Good agreement is shown with GD and LSQ results, when a single unknown variable - sea-ice thickness - is to be determined. To support the inversion calculations and analysis, we developed an analytical model. The analytical model used to formulate the ACF/FCF function depends on the age of the ice being measured. The analytical model for first-year ice is based on the small perturbation method (presented here) and, for multiyear ice, the Kirchhoff approximation (presented in accompanying paper by the authors). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
