| Abstract: | Changes in physical properties of snow on sea ice occur during onset of melt; these changes have been quantified for Arctic (Greenland and Barents seas) and Antarctic (Weddell Sea), based on 318 snowpit measurements. Using surface-based dual-polarized 37 GHz radiometer and special sensor microwave/imager (SSM/I), changes in brightness temperature of sea ice have been observed for increases in snow depth, wetness, stratification, and slush at snow--ice interface. Representative model for passive microwave response to snow metamorphism shows changes in brightness temperature due to increases in snow wetness. |
