Retrieval of Regional Snow Water Equivalent from Space-Borne Passive Microwave Observations
TLDR
In this paper, the feasibility of space-borne microwave radiometers for monitoring the evolution of snow cover in a drainage area is investigated using four winter sets of SSM/I radiometer observations for the 51,000 km 2 River Kemijoki drainage area, Northern Finland, are used for analyses.About:

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed description of soil and vegetation modelling in L-MEB is given in order to address these needs, and the use of LMEB in soil moisture retrievals is evaluated for several experimental data sets over agricultural crops.

Matias Takala,Kari Luojus,Jouni Pulliainen,Chris Derksen,Juha Lemmetyinen,J.-P. Karna,Jarkko Koskinen,Bojan Bojkov +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm assimilating synoptic weather station data on snow depth with satellite passive microwave radiometer data is applied to produce a 30-year-long time-series of seasonal snow water equivalent (SWE) for the northern hemisphere.

A prototype AMSR-E global snow area and snow depth algorithm
TL;DR: A methodologically simple approach to estimate snow depth from spaceborne microwave instruments is described and will be developed further and implemented for use with the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System aboard Aqua.

Assimilating remotely sensed snow observations into a macroscale hydrology model
TL;DR: In this article, an EnKF was used to assimilate remotely sensed snow observations into the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrologic model over the Snake River basin.

Mapping of snow water equivalent and snow depth in boreal and sub-arctic zones by assimilating space-borne microwave radiometer data and ground-based observations
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel assimilation technique based on (forward) modelling of observed brightness temperatures as a function of snow pack characteristics is introduced, which is a Bayesian approach that weighs the space-borne data and the reference field on SD interpolated from discrete synoptic observations with their estimated statistical accuracy.

SSM/I instrument evaluation
TL;DR: The results of this effort demonstrate that the SSM/I is a stable, sensitive, and well-calibrated microwave radiometric system capable of providing accurate brightness temperatures for microwave images of the Earth and for use by environmental product retrieval algorithms.

Applications of the interaction of microwaves with the natural snow cover
TL;DR: In this article, applications of the interaction of microwaves with the natural snow cover are discussed. But the authors do not consider the effects of microwave technology on the natural vegetation in their work.

HUT snow emission model and its applicability to snow water equivalent retrieval
TL;DR: The derivation, testing, and employment to parameter retrieval of the Helsinki University of Technology snow microwave emission model is presented and a new inversion technique for the SWE retrieval from spaceborne data based on the developed model is developed.

Dielectric properties of snow in the 3 to 37 GHz range
TL;DR: In this article, both the Debye-like semi-empirical model and the theoretical Polder-Van Santen mixing model were found to describe adequately the dielectric behavior of wet snow.
