The application of the RF radiometry technique to the general maritime reconnaissance and marine sciences role in the Canadian North is discussed. Results of tests carried out with a helicopter-borne, multichannel, UHF radiometer in August 1972 in the Hudson Strait and Labrador Coast areas are included. Radiation data were obtained during flights over ships, ocean and fresh water, pack ice, icebergs, glaciers and land features. These initial results were encouraging in demonstrating the potential of the technique, not only in direct support of maritime operations through aiding in detection and identification of features of interest, but with possible application in areas such as hydrology and glaciology.
