Abstract

Based on the time domain Mueller matrix solution, a method for VHF (very high frequency, 30-300MHz) radar pulse penetration on sea ice, programming by Visual C#, is developed. The polarimetric radar pulse echoes contain echoes from top and bottom interfaces, air-bubble’s volumetric scattering and their multi-interactions. By changing model parameters including the layer thickness, salinity, dielectric constant and interfacial roughness, the radar pulse echoes on sea ice are numerically simulated to verify the feasibility of this method. The results demonstrate that the model can be used to explore sea ice, of which rich information such as depth and other structure properties can be revealed.
