Abstract

The brightness temperature of snow-covered terrain was monitored throughout the winter of 1984-1985. Radiometers operating at 1.0 GHz, 16.5 GHz, and 37.0 GHz (vertical and horizontal polarization) were used. The snow conditions varied from fine-grained to refrozen snow, and from dry snow to wetnesses of different levels. The effects of snow water equivalent, structure, and grain size were examined in a detailed manner. Based on these results, a semi-empirical brightness temperature model was developed.
