Estimation of snow water equivalence using SIR-C/X-SAR. II. Inferring snow depth and particle size
The relationship between snow water equivalence (SWE) and SAR backscattering coefficients at Cand X-band (5.5 and 9.6 GHz) can be either positive or negative. Therefore, discovery of the relationship with an empirical approach is unrealistic. Instead, we estimate snow depth and particle size using SIR-C/X-SAR imagery from a physically-based first order backscattering model through analyses of t...
متن کاملSeasonal variations of snow depth on Mars.
Using topography collected over one martian year from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft, we have measured temporal changes in the elevation of the martian surface that correlate with the seasonal cycle of carbon dioxide exchange between the surface and atmosphere. The greatest elevation change (1.5 to 2 meters) occurs at high latitudes ( above 80 degr...
متن کاملLidar measurement of snow depth: a review
Laser altimetry (lidar) is a remote-sensing technology that holds tremendous promise for mapping snow depth in snow hydrology and avalanche applications. Recently lidar has seen a dramatic widening of applications in the natural sciences, resulting in technological improvements and an increase in the availability of both airborne and ground-based sensors. Modern sensors allow mapping of vegetat...
متن کاملEstimation of Snow Water Equivelant Using a Parameterized Snow Scattering Model
Active microwave sensors, especially high-frequency radar systems, are highly sensitive to snow pack parameters, including Snow Water Equivalent (SWE), which is a crucial parameter in the studies of hydrology and climatology. For example, studies using Ku-band observations from scatterometer QuickSCAT and POLSCAT have shown significant radar backscattering responses on SWE variations. It has be...
متن کاملSar Backscatter Inversion Model for Estimation of Snow Properties
This paper presents an inverse model for SAR backscatter X band designed to snow and ice surfaces. The model inversion enables estimating the morphological characteristics of snow cover from SAR data. X Cosmo-Skymed sensor data was used in the experiment tested here for the region of Union Glacier Antarctica. We observed a precision in determining the estimated size of snow grains about 94%. Th...
