About this document
Monitoring Snow Cover with C-Band SAR by El Brain is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study evaluates the use of C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for monitoring snow water equivalent (SWE) in dry and shallow snow cover. The research involved multitemporal SAR data collection over three winters in Southern Québec, coupled with extensive ground measurements to develop a model linking backscattering coefficients to snow cover characteristics. Results indicate that while volume scattering from shallow snow is undetectable, relationships between backscattering power and SWE can be
