This dataset contains the processed, backscatter data from the airborne UMass Ku-Band SAR data, as part of Environment and Climate Change Canada's 2018-2019 Trail Valley Creek Snow Experiment (TVC Experiment 18/19). These measurements were collected to evaluate coincident ground snow data, airborne and satellite radar measurements to better understand snow-radar interactions in a tundra environment. The measurements were acquired around the Trail Valley Creek research station (https://www.trailvalleycreek.ca/) in Northwest Territories, Canada. Three periods of ground measurement, coincident with these airborne measurements, took place in November 2018, January 2019, and March 2019. The dataset consists of processed imagery with 100m averaged backscatter data and incidence angle data around all surveyed sites. Flight information and coincident field measurement metadata are also included.
