Authors:Category 3: Poster
Thermal infrared images of the cloud-free surface of the Antarctic ice sheet exhibit subtle … stream-like features that can be traced over hundreds of kilometres. The stream features are … superimposed on other features in the temperature field related to the surface topography of … the ice sheet.

A directional anisotropy is observed in backscatter from the surface of the East Antarctic ice sheet as measured by the C-band wind scatterometer carried by the ERS-1 satellite. The anisotropy is characterised by the amplitude of the variation with azimuth of the backscatter coefficient…
