SAR FIRN LINE DETECTION AND CORRELATION TO GLACIAL MASS BALANCE; SVARTISEN GLACIER, NORTHERN NORWAY

The glacial firn line of the Svartisen Glacier has been detected using ERS II SAR data from 1995 and up till today. The firn line is detected by first correcting the image backscatter intensity for topographic and geometric contributions using the Muhleman backscattering model. Then we discriminate...
