Microwaves see thin ice: a review of ice and snow sensing using microwave techniques
Ice and snow are a reality that a large percentage of the global population experiences on a regular basis, with more than 31% of the Earth’s landmass [2] experiencing seasonal snow and ice accretion (as shown in Figure 1 , a satellite image of the global snow cover for February 2022) [1] . In the U...

Ice and snow are a reality that a large percentage of the global population experiences on a regular basis, with more than 31% of the Earth’s landmass [2] experiencing seasonal snow and ice accretion (as shown in Figure 1 , a satellite image of the global snow cover for February 2022) [1] . In the United States alone, ice and snow impact 70% of the population, resulting in more than 1,300 annual deaths from icing-related roadway accidents and causing an estimated US$2.3 billion to be spent each year on roadway snow and ice control operations [3] . The infrastructure in regions that receive ice and snow must be specially designed to reliably operate in winter weather conditions, with specific considerations for power grids [4] , antenna communication structures, and cable bridges [5] .
