Developing a radar-based machine learning snowfall retrieval algorithm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)As global temperatures continue to rise, snowfall patterns are expected to respond in a complex, nonlinear manner. Changes in the quantity of snowmelt-derived freshwater will impact global water-energy budgets, flood ... -
Developing Parameter Constraints for Radar-based SWE Retrievals
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-28)Terrestrial snow is an important freshwater reservoir with significant influence on the climate and energy balance. It exhibits natural spatiotemporal variability which has been enhanced by climate change, thus it is ... -
Evaluating Aerial Ku-Band Radar Altimetry over Landfast First-Year Sea Ice
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-17)Recent studies have challenged the assumption that Ku-band radar, used by the CryoSat-2 satellite altimetry platform, fully penetrates the dry snow cover of Arctic sea ice in the winter. There is also uncertainty around ... -
Validating CloudSat-CPR retrievals for the estimation of snow accumulation in the Canadian Arctic
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-31)Snow is a critical contributor to our global water and energy budget, with profound impacts for water resource availability, snow albedo feedback and flooding in cold regions. The vast size and remote nature of the Arctic ...
