Antarctic ice sheet surface melting can regionally influence ice shelf stability, mass balance,
and glacier dynamics, in addition to modulating near‐surface physical and chemical …

This paper describes an algorithm for detecting roads and obstacles in radar data taken from
a millimeter-wave imaging platform mounted on a stationary automobile. Such an algorithm …

During the last 3 years we performed in situ backscattering measurements on various
natural snow covers at 5.3 and 35 GHz (C and Ka band, respectively). Most of the …

This paper describes two network-analyzer (NA)-based scatterometers at 5.3 (C-band) and
35 GHz (Ka-band) as well as snowcover measurements made in the Swiss and Austrian …

Root-zone soil moisture exerts a fundamental control on vegetation, energy balance, and
the carbon cycle in Arctic ecosystems, but it is still not well understood in vast, remote, and …

This study, consisting of three complimentary topics, examines the millimeter-wave
backscattering behavior of terrain at incidence angles extending between 70 and 90/spl …

Collision avoidance is a concern of all types of aircraft, requiring the detection and
identification of hazardous terrain or obstacles. Collision avoidance is even more …

Considering the rapid growth of population, its impact on the environment, and limited
available resources on our planet, the need for monitoring the environmental processes and …

Firn density plays a crucial role in assessing the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice
sheet. However, our understanding of the spatial and temporal variations in firn density is …

Maps of backscatter anisotropy parameters from the European Organisation for the
Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT), a …
