Combining of passive and active microwave data over the greenland ice sheet

An attempt of delineating regions with different geophysical parameters over the Greenland ice sheet by means of combining passive and active microwave remote sensing data is made. It is shown that data of brightness temperatures and backscattering coefficients supplement each other and provide good...

Description
Summary:An attempt of delineating regions with different geophysical parameters over the Greenland ice sheet by means of combining passive and active microwave remote sensing data is made. It is shown that data of brightness temperatures and backscattering coefficients supplement each other and provide good potential possibilities for distinguishing zones with different snow accumulation and melt conditions.
