Snow cover radiometry in the near millimeter wavelength range

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The results of field and laboratory measurements of the thermal emission of the snow cover at wavelengths 1.3–0.87, 2.2, and 3.3 mm are presented. The potential of this wavelength range for sounding the boundaries and top layer condition of the snow cover, including the melting state, is analyzed and the results of the sounding are reported.
