Exploring the use of MODIS forest transmissivity for correcting passive microwave observation of snow-covered terrain/landscape
Li, Qinghuan (University of Waterloo, 2015-01-30)Snow is one of the most important parts in Earth’s hydrologic cycle especially at high latitude. Observation of snow accumulation by passive microwave measurements is an effective way for estimating snow mass at the regional ... -
The influence of winter time boreal forest tree transmissivity on tree emission and passive microwave snow observations
Li, Qinghuan (University of Waterloo, 2019-05-17)Forest cover significantly attenuates natural upwelling ground microwave emission from seasonal terrestrial snow. This presents a major challenge for the accurate retrieval of snow from airborne or spaceborne passive ...
