Microwave snow signatures (1.5 mm to 3 cm) over Alaska / A.T.C. Chang, J.L. Foster, Dorothy K. Hall.
Title: | Microwave snow signatures (1.5 mm to 3 cm) over Alaska / A.T.C. Chang, J.L. Foster, Dorothy K. Hall. |
Author(s): | Chang, A. T. C. Foster, J. L. Hall, Dorothy K. |
Date: | 1987. |
In: | Cold Regions Science and Technology. (1987.), Vol. 13(2) (1987) |
Abstract: | Airborne radiometer data acquired 10 and 13 February 1983 are analyzed and compared with Nimbus-7 SMMR data. Aircraft equipped with both imaging and fixed-beam passive microwave radiometers. Found that, although 92 GHz data are more sensitive to snow-crystal scattering, data at this frequency are also more sensitive to atmospheric parameters. Thus, in cloud-free areas, 92 GHz microwave patterns over snow in Alaska were similar to patterns obtained from 37 GHz data. |
