Brief communication: A continuous formulation of microwave scattering from fresh snow to bubbly ice from first principles

International audience Microwave remote sensing of the cryosphere demands a formulation of the scattering coefficient which can be applied over the entire range of relevant densities, from fresh snow to bubbly ice, at all frequencies and for any grain size and snow type. Most challenging are interme...
