SAR signature changes over melting snow / W. Gareth Rees, A.M. Steel.
Title: | SAR signature changes over melting snow / W. Gareth Rees, A.M. Steel. |
Author(s): | Rees, W. Gareth. Steel, A. M. |
Date: | 1999. |
In: | Scott Polar Research Institute. Technical Reports in Remote Sensing. (1999.), Vol. 10 (1999) |
Abstract: | Investigates use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect snow cover, especially melting snow, aiming to integrate SAR data into system incorporating optical data from NOAA AVHRR imagery and runoff modelling. Shows that dry snow is effectively radar-transparent, wet snow masks underlying material and scatters predominantly from its surface. Study area was Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland. Finds workable algorithm for wet snow cover only possible where there is underlying heather. |
