      Rapid Arctic warming drives profound change in the marine environment that have significant socio-economic impacts within the Arctic and beyond, including climate and weather hazards, food security, transportation, ...
    • High-frequency internal wave observations in the marginal ice zone 

      Sandven, Stein; Johannessen, Ola M. (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans;92(C7), Journal article, 1987-06-30)
    • Observation and Simulation of Ice Tongues and Vortex Pairs in the Marginal Ice Zone 

      Johannessen, Ola M.; Sandven, Stein; Budgell, W. Paul; Johannessen, Johnny A.; Shuchman, Robert A. (Geophysical Monograph 85, Chapter, 1994)
      Recognizes the major advancements of the past decade in understanding the interactions among the polar oceans and global atmospheric and oceanic systems. This volume addresses the following topics: Polar Ocean Circulation ...
    • Open-source feature-tracking algorithm for sea ice drift retrieval from Sentinel-1 SAR imagery 

      Muckenhuber, Stefan; Korosov, Anton Andreevich; Sandven, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-26)
      A computationally efficient, open-source feature-tracking algorithm, called ORB, is adopted and tuned for sea ice drift retrieval from Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images. The most suitable setting and parameter ...
    • Open-source sea ice drift algorithm for Sentinel-1 SAR imagery using a combination of feature tracking and pattern matching 

      Muckenhuber, Stefan; Sandven, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-07)
      An open-source sea ice drift algorithm for Sentinel-1 SAR imagery is introduced based on the combination of feature tracking and pattern matching. Feature tracking produces an initial drift estimate and limits the search ...
    • Operational algorithm for ice–water classification on dual-polarized RADARSAT-2 images 

      Zakhvatkina, Natalia; Korosov, Anton; Muckenhuber, Stefan; Sandven, Stein; Babiker, Mohamed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-11)
      Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from RADARSAT-2 (RS2) in dual-polarization mode provide additional information for discriminating sea ice and open water compared to single-polarization data. We have developed an automatic ...
    • Recent wind driven high sea ice area export in the Fram Strait contributes to Arctic sea ice decline 

      Smedsrud, Lars Henrik; Sirevaag, Anders; Kloster, Kjell; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Sandven, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-14)
      Arctic sea ice area has been decreasing for the past two decades. Apart from melting, the southward drift through Fram Strait is the main ice loss mechanism. We present high resolution sea ice drift data across 79° N from ...
    • Sea ice cover in Isfjorden and Hornsund, Svalbard (2000–2014) from remote sensing data 

      Muckenhuber, Stefan; Nilsen, Frank; Korosov, Anton; Sandven, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-19)
      A satellite database including 16 555 satellite images and ice charts displaying the area of Isfjorden, Hornsund, and the Svalbard region has been established with focus on the time period 2000–2014. 3319 manual interpretations ...
    • Waveform classification of airborne synthetic aperture radar altimeter over Arctic sea ice 

      Zygmuntowska, Marta; Khvorostovsky, Kirill; Helm, Veith; Sandven, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08-19)
      Sea ice thickness is one of the most sensitive variables in the Arctic climate system. In order to quantify changes in sea ice thickness, CryoSat-2 was launched in 2010 carrying a Ku-band radar altimeter (SIRAL) designed ...
