Radar measurements of snow: experiment and analysis
This paper considers two specific types of experiments conducted to improve our understanding of radar backscatter from snow-covered ground surfaces. The first experiment involves radar backscatter measurements at Cand X-band of artificial snow of varying depths. The relatively simple target characteristics, combined with an exhaustive ground truth effort, make the results of this experiment es...
متن کاملThe Clementine bistatic radar experiment.
During the Clementine 1 mission, a bistatic radar experiment measured the magnitude and polarization of the radar echo versus bistatic angle, beta, for selected lunar areas. Observations of the lunar south pole yield a same-sense polarization enhancement around beta = 0. Analysis shows that the observed enhancement is localized to the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar south pole. Radar ...
متن کاملSnow stratigraphy measurements with high-frequency FMCW radar: Comparison with snow micro-penetrometer
The stratigraphy of an alpine snowpack is very important for avalanche danger assessment, as well as interpretation of remote sensing measurements for hydrological purposes. Since spatial variability is often widespread, due mainly to wind, micro-climatic and topographic effects, extrapolating point measurements can be difficult. Tools which can quickly characterize snowpack stratigraphy, such ...
متن کاملEffect of Snow Density Irregularities on Radar Backscatter from a Layered Dry Snow Pack
The contribution of electromagnetic wave scattering on density irregularities in the volume component of radar backscatter was analyzed for a thick snow pack containing internal hoar/ice layers. To evaluate the effect of this scattering, Density Deviation Factor (DDF), a statistical parameter, was introduced into the backscattering coefficient using the “slice” approach. DDF is proportional to ...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Polarimetric Radar Observations of Snow-Generating Cells
High-resolution X-band polarimetric radar data were collected in 19 snowstorms over northern Colorado in early 2013 as part of the Front Range Orographic Storms (FROST) project. In each case, small, vertically erect convective turrets were observed near the echo top. These ‘‘generating cells’’ are similar to those reported in the literature and are characterized by ;1-km horizontal and vertical...
