This paper presents a new microwave snow emissivity model which is empirically derived from satellite retrievals and ground-based measurements. This model produces a variety of snow emissivity spectra at microwave frequencies according to snow types. As part of this model, an algorithm is also developed to classify snow type using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) measurements at 23.8...

متن کاملDielectric and Radiative Properties of Sea Foam at Microwave Frequencies: Conceptual Understanding of Foam Emissivity
Foam fraction can be retrieved from space-based microwave radiometric data at frequencies from 1 to 37 GHz. The retrievals require modeling of ocean surface emissivity fully covered with sea foam. To model foam emissivity well, knowledge of foam properties, both mechanical and dielectric, is necessary because these control the radiative processes in foam. We present a physical description of fo...
متن کاملEstimation of Emissivity and Scattering Coefficient of Vegetation from Measured Dielectric Constant at Microwave Frequencies
The emission from the vegetation canopy depends on the type of vegetation and the frequencies at which the emission is measured. For studying the vegetation canopy of a tree, the dielectric constant of its constituent is measured at microwave frequencies. In this study the dielectric constant is measured using waveguide cell method and its scattering coefficient is estimated using perturbation ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Global Land Surface Emissivity Map at Amsr-e Passive Microwave Frequencies
Microwave emissivity over ocean is relatively well understood by scientists. However, over land because of the existence of different land covers and their various physical properties land surface emissivity retrieval does not seem to be straightforward. Land emissivity plays a key role in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, since it acts like a crucial boundary condition. The accuracy o...
