A New Operational Snow Retrieval Algorithm Applied to Historical AMSR-E Brightness Temperatures
Snow is a key element of the water and energy cycles and the knowledge of spatio-temporal distribution of snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) is fundamental for hydrological and climatological applications. SWE and snow depth estimates can be obtained from spaceborne microwave brightness temperatures at global scale and high temporal resolution (daily). In this regard, the data recorded ...
متن کاملA Pre-operational Algorithm for the Retrieval of Snow Water Equivalent and Soil Moisture from Amsr-e Data
During the past decades, natural hazards such as floods, landslides and forest fires have caused major loss of human lives and the destruction of economic land social infrastructure, as well as environmental damages. The Italian National Project: PROSA (PRodotti di Osservazione Satellitari per l'Allerta Meteorologica) is a pilot project funded by the Italian Space Agency, which aims at contribu...
متن کاملA prototype AMSR-E global snow area and snow depth algorithm
A methodologically simple approach to estimate snow depth from spaceborne microwave instruments is described. The scattering signal observed in multifrequency passive microwave data is used to detect snow cover. Wet snow, frozen ground, precipitation, and other anomalous scattering signals are screened using established methods. The results from two different approaches (a simple time and conti...
متن کاملDirect assimilation of AMSR - E brightness temperatures for estimating sea - ice concentration
In this paper a method to directly assimilate brightness temperatures from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) to produce ice concentration analyses within a three-dimensional variational data assimilation system is investigated. To assimilate the brightness temperatures a simple radiative transfer model is used as the forward model which maps the state vector to the observation...
متن کاملDevelopment of AMSR and AMSR-E retrieval algorithms at EORC
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) is a multi-frequency, dual-polarized microwave radiometer that detects microwave emissions from the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Various geophysical parameters, particularly those related to water (H2O), can be estimated from AMSR data. In addition to the proven parameters such as water vapor, precipitation, and sea surface wind speed, novel ...
