Seasonal alpine snow contributes significantly to the water resource. It plays a crucial role in
regulating the environmental feedback and from the perspective of socio-economic …

The copolar phase difference (CPD) between VV and HH polarization of X-band SAR
acquisitions shows a significant dependence on the depth of fresh snow. Phase differences …

Snow, as a fundamental reservoir of freshwater, is a crucial natural resource. Specifically,
knowledge of snow density spatial and temporal variability could improve modelling of snow …

Snow wetness estimates are critical inputs in the understanding of snow hydrological
processes. With early warming in winters in the Himalayas, snowpack shows early signs of …

Glacier surface facies are valuable indicators of changes experienced by a glacial system.
The interplay of accumulation and ablation facies, followed by intermixing with dust and …

ABSTRACT Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing is a state-of-the-art tool for
snow monitoring and snow parameters estimation. SAR remote sensing-based techniques …

Snow melt onset detection and mapping of snow extent during the spring melt period using
spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is important for various applications including …

Snow physical properties, snow cover and glacier facies are important parameters which are
used to quantify snowpack characteristics, glacier mass balance and seasonal snow and …

Snow depth is a general input variable in many models of agriculture, hydrology, climate,
and ecology. However, there are some uncertainties in the retrieval of snow depth by remote …

This work provides an overview of various methods for estimating snow cover and properties
in high mountains using remote sensing techniques involving microwaves. Satellite-based …
