MARC recordOn iceberg observations using the ships radar / George J. Musil.
| Title: | On iceberg observations using the ships radar / George J. Musil. |
| Author(s): | Musil, George J. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Iceberg Research. (1990.), Vol. 15 (1990) |
| Abstract: | It has been shown that iceberg counts obtained in this way can be unreliable, especially at greater ranges. Suggests that this is due to failure of ship's radar to detect weaker echoes, i.e. its system performance and, hence, such parameters as gain settings and clutter suppression, which may be altered during voyage by crew. |
| Notes: | Iceberg Research. Vol. 15 :28-34 (1990). |
