MARC recordComparison of methods for melt detection over Greenland using active and passive microwave measurements / Ivan S. Ashcraft, David G. Long.
| Title: | Comparison of methods for melt detection over Greenland using active and passive microwave measurements / Ivan S. Ashcraft, David G. Long. |
| Author(s): | Ashcraft, Ivan S. Long, David G. |
| Date: | 2006. |
| In: | International Journal of Remote Sensing. (2006.), Vol. 27(12-14) (2006) |
| Abstract: | Compares six melt detection method/sensor combinations using data for summer 2000. Sensors include SSM/I, SeaWinds on QuikSCAT, and the ERS AMI in scatterometer mode. Compares existing methods with melt detection based on simple physical model relating moisture content and depth of a surface melt layer of wet snow to a single channel melt detection threshold. Applicable to both active and passive sensors, model improves consistency between brightness temperature and normalized radar backscatter based detection of melt. Reports model-based estimates highly correlated between sensors. Discusses merits and limitations of various methods. |
