Speakers: Eli Deeb (ERDC-CRREL) Chris Derksen (Environment and Climate Change Canada)

This webinar will introduce the basics of snow remote sensing using microwave wavelengths (millimenter to centimeter), explore how different frequencies interact with the snow cover through volume scattering and phase delay approaches, provide an overview of passive versus active (radar) instruments, and highlight existing and future mission concepts that leverage these techniques.

This material is based on a webinar series facilitated by CUAHSI with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement No. EAR-1849458.
