In the terrestrial cryosphere, freeze/thaw (FT) state transitions play an important and measurable role in climatic, hydrological, ecological, and biogeochemical processes in permafrost landscapes. Active and passive microwave remote sensing has shown a principal capacity to provide effective monito...
