Seasonal snow cover is the largest single component of the cryosphere in areal extent,
covering an average of 46 million square km of Earth's surface (31% of the land area) each …

We report the publication of treams, a new software for electromagnetic scattering
computations based on the T-matrix method. Besides conventional T-matrix calculations for …

Data from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission augmented
with a physical surface scattering model were analyzed to develop a semiempirical model …

In this paper, we provide updates on our recent work on the theory of microwave remote
sensing for applications in remote sensing of soil moisture and snow water equivalent …

In this article, we develop a hybrid method for studying wave scatterings and propagation in
a vegetation field. The coherent multiple scatterings among the plants and the gaps in the …

To calculate scattering of a vegetation field consisting of a large number of plants, an
improved fast version of the hybrid method (FHM) combining fast multiple scattering theory …

Microwave radiometry has provided valuable spaceborne observations of Earth's
geophysical properties for decades. The recent SMOS, Aquarius, and SMAP satellites have …

The full-wave simulations of 3D Maxwell equations of forests at L-band are carried out with a
two-step hybrid method. The tallest trees considered include one 8-meter tall trunk, 18 …

This article presents an analysis of P-band radio signal propagation through forest based on
3D Numerical Method of Maxwell's equations (NMM3D). The simulation domain of the …

Snow is a vital component of the earth system, yet no snow-focused satellite remote sensing
platform currently exists. In this study, we investigate how synthetic observations of snow …
