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...

2012 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) from X- and Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar measurements. This would make available high resolution, satellite derived SWE, for monitoring and modeling applications. To-date, airborne measurements ...
