[V. D. Mishra] Snow cover is an important variable for climatic and hydrologic models due to its effect on surfacer\n albedo, energy, and mass balance. Satellite observations successfully provide a global and\r\n comprehensive hemispheric-scale record of the short-term, as well as inter-seasonal variations in\r\n snow cover. Passive microwave sensors provide an excellent method to monitor temporal and spatial\r\n variations in large-scale snow cover parameters, overcoming problems of cloud cover... , "[K. K. Singh] Snow cover is an important variable for climatic and hydrologic models due to its effects on surface\r\n albedo, energy, and moisture budgets. Passive microwave sensors can be used to monitor temporal and\r\n spatial variations in large-scale snow cover parameters, avoiding problems of cloud cover and polar\r\n nights. In the present study, brightness temperature values were estimated (using calibration\r\n curves) for moist snow on natural and blackbody/metal surface... , "[M. TEDESCO] Snow cover is a key component of the Earth's energy balance and a key storage mechanism for\r\n water. In many areas of the world, people rely on snowmelt runoff for their water resources. It is\r\n essential that the extent and water content of seasonal snow cover be determined to a degree of\r\n accuracy concomitant with the instrumentation available... , "[Marco Brogioni] Snow cover is an important component of the hydrological cycle and a key indicator of global\r\n warming. Microwave radiometry has proved to be an important method to monitor this quantity. This\r\n work aims at investigating the sensitivity of microwave emission to snow parameters by means of an\r\n advanced model called IRIDE (Ifac RadiatIve Dry snow Emission). The model is obtained by properly\r\n coupling the Advanced Integral Equation Method and the Dense Media Radiative Transfer Theory under\r\n the Quasi-Crystalline Approximation... |
