Snow cover is one of the most important components in predicting global water and influence the global heat budget. In this study, we reported the spatial and temporal distribution of seasonal wet snow cover derived from enhanced resolution (4.45 km/pix) QuikSCAT Ku band backscatter measurements in the winters of 2002–2009 of China. A threshold method was used to detect melt events. The main melt...
Snow water equivalent is a key parameter in hydrology and climatology. In this study, we estimates snow water equivalent based on bi-continuous vector radiative transfer (VRT) model at X (9.6 GHz) and Ku (17.2 GHz) bands radar scatter. First, the relationship between snow optical thickness and single scattering albedo at X and Ku bands is established by analyzing the database generated from bi-continuous...
