The internal ice sheet temperature is a key parameter for the understanding of the ice sheet dynamics which, at present, is available only from glaciological models or in the few boreholes where temperature has been measured. From the analysis of space-borne L-band data from SMOS, collected over Antarctica, it was proved that they are sensitive to the ice sheet temperature profile. In this paper it...
Antarctica is a very unique continent, completely covered by thousands of meter of ice and firn. Therefore its microwave signature is different from any other place on Earth. Although the emission at low microwave frequency of the East Antarctic plateau is temporally stable for long periods, especially at V polarization and for incidence angles close to the Brewster one, a detailed analysis of satellite...
The analysis of microwave measurements collected by ground-based radiometers at Dome C, Antarctica, during the Domex experiments reveals that snow layering has a significant impact on the microwave emission of snow even at such low frequency. In order to better understand the relationships between the measured brightness temperature and the ice sheet parameters acquired data has been simulated by...
In recent years there is growing interest, on the part of the remote sensing community, in using the Antarctic area for calibrating and validating data of the low-frequency satellite-borne microwave radiometers. In particular, the East Antarctic Plateau appears to be suited for this purpose. The reason of this interest lies in the size, structure, spatial homogeneity and thermal stability of this...
