In preparation of the satellite mission CoReH2O, one of the three missions selected for scientific and technical feasibility studies within the Earth Explorer Programme of the European Space Agency, experimental and theoretical studies started in order to investigate backscatter properties of snow covered terrain and improve the methods for retrieval of snow physical properties from SAR data. The...
The CoReH2O mission focuses on spatially detailed observation of global snow, ice and water cycle parameters using a SAR at X- and Ku-bands in regions where snow and ice play a major role in the water and energy cycles as well as in biospheric processes. Two parallel industrial studies at phase 0 level have been awarded respectively to Astrium GmbH and Thales Alenia Space-Italy. This paper presents...
The COld REgions Hydrology High-resolution Observatory (CoRe-H2O) satellite mission has been selected for scientific and technical studies within the ESA Earth Explorer Programme. The mission addresses the need for spatially detailed snow and ice observations in order to improve the representation of the cryosphere in climate models and to improve the knowledge and prediction of water cycle variability...
