Summary:
New high resolution Ku- and Ka-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements are being proposed to measure tundra snow water equivalent (SWE) from future space-borne sensors, however further work is necessary to test the mission concept using airborne instruments that replicate the proposed satellite sensors. During the winter of 2012-2013 a research campaign at the Trail Valley Creek study sit...

Summary:
The proposed European Space Agency Earth Explorer 7 CoReH20 satellite mission has the primary objective of retrieving snow water equivalent (SWE) over land at a high spatial resolution (200-500 metres). This would make available high resolution, satellite derived SWE, for monitoring and modeling applications. To-date, airborne measurements to test the CoReH20 satellite mission concept have been ac...

Summary:
Regional estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) are useful for climate studies, calculating how much water is stored in the snowpack, and weather forecasting. These data are available from manual surface measurements, but there not very many measureme...
