Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6137.
The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by ongoing field work by P. Marsh's (PI) group at Trail ...

2022 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5676.
The objective of this research is to determine: 1) the accuracy of existing physical models of the Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) dry snow signal; 2) if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer.
There are currently three ...

Summary:
Environment Canada plans to measure snow depth, snow density and snow water equivalent (water storage in the snowpack), as well as lake ice thickness and structure for comparison with microwave radiometer measurements.
Researchers have started to use microwave data from satellites for assessing snow water equivalent (SWE). Field tests to investigate the use of microwave sensors indicate that SW...
