Title
Ku- And X-Band Backscatter Analysis And Swe Retrieval For Alpine Snow
Abstract
Spatial and temporal characteristics of Ku- and X-band backscatter signatures of Alpine snow are discussed and related to in situ snow observations. The radar data have been acquired with the airborne SnowSAR sensor over three test sites in the Austrian Alps during the AlpSAR campaign in winter 2012/13. An example for inversion of backscatter images in terms of sow water equivalent (SWE) is presented. The backscatter signatures of three test sites in different elevation zones show significant differences in terms of mean values and temporal trends during the winter season. These variations can be attributed to snow structure and to properties of the medium below the snow pack.
