Accurate estimation of snow mass is important for the characterization of the hydrological cycle at different space and time scales. For effective water resources management, accurate estimation of snow storage is needed. Conventionally, snow depth i

Passive microwave sensors (PM) onboard satellites have the capability to provide global snow observations which are not affected by cloudiness and night condition (except when precipitating events are occurring). Furthermore, they provide information

The frequency dependence of scattering by geophysical media at microwave frequencies is an important topic because multifrequency measurements are used in remote sensing applications. In this paper, we study rigorously the frequency dependence of sca

We present large-scale Monte Carlo simulation results of the phase functions in multiple scattering by dense media of small 2D particles. Solution of the Foldy–Lax equations with large number of unknowns is done efficiently using the sparse-matrix

A methodologically simple approach to estimate snow depth from spaceborne microwave instruments is described. The scattering signal observed in multifrequency passive microwave data is used to detect snow cover. Wet snow, frozen ground, precipitation

The frequency dependence of extinction and scattering by geophysical medium at microwave frequencies is an important scattering topic because multifrequency measurements are used in remote sensing applications. Classical independent scattering theory

There are several hemispheric-scale satellite-derived snow-cover maps available, but none has been fully validated. For the period 23 October–25 December 2000, we compare snow maps of North America derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spect

The frequencies flown on the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) are sensitive to liquid water near the earth’s surface. These frequencies are primarily atmospheric window channels, which receive the majority of their radiation from the surface

We compute the non-systematic errors of monthly oceanic rainfall over 5° latitude by 5° longitude boxes derived from data taken by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites a

The climatology of oceanic rain column height derived from 12 years (July 1987–June 1999) of Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data is presented. The estimation procedure is based on a technique developed by Wilheit et al. In the annual mean,
