This paper describes a method of distinguishing between pack ice and sea clutter in radar echoes, an attempt to roughly estimate the thickness of sea ice from measurement of surface temperature by air-borne infrared radiometer, and an application of thermal images from satellite data to estimate the concentration of sea ice off the Okhotsk Sea coast of Hokkaido.
