A scatterometer, as an active microwave radar sensor, measures the return of radar waves in the form of a backscatter coefficient after reflection or scattering from Earth's surface. The …
The Himalayas is an essential component of the cryosphere due to the large extent of snow or ice cover. The mapping and monitoring of snow cover variability over the Himalayas is the …
Mapping and monitoring of the glacier changes over different regions of Earth surface is a challenging task due to regional rugged topography and climate conditions. This study …
The change detection via remote sensing offers a cost-effective solution to monitor the earth surface variations and manage natural resources. Change vector analysis (CVA) is one of …
The present study evaluates the potential of Ku-band Scatterometer Satellite-1 (SCATSAT-1) for quantification of spatiotemporal variability in snow cover area (SCA) over Himalayas …
The Ku-band (13.5 GHz) based scatterometer is the main sensor onboard Scatterometer Satellite (SCATSAT-1) launched on 26th September 2016 by Indian Space Research …
In the present work, the potential of Scatterometer Satellite (SCATSAT-1) data (operated at Ku-band 13.515 GHz) is evaluated to estimate the binary Snow Cover Maps (SCMs) over a …
Remote sensing plays a significant role in monitoring of the undulating the Himalayas. With continuous monitoring, the preservation of natural resources and mitigation of natural …
