About this award

This is a $250,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan for research related to improving the quantification of surface scattering in radar snow retrievals. The research will be conducted at low (L-band), medium (C-band), and high (X/Ku bands) frequencies, using data from satellite and airborne radar observations as well as ground truth from field campaigns. The expected outcome is an improved understanding of the relationship between snowpack physical properties and remote sensing observations that can form the basis of improved snow retrieval algorithms. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and is part of the University of Michigan's extensive portfolio of federal research contracts and grants across scientific and technological domains.

Description

The NMM3D model will be used to improve the quantification of surface scattering-a major source of error in radar snow retrievals. This will be performed at low (l-band), medium (c-band) and high (x/KU bands) frequencies. Data from satellite and airborne radar observations as well as ground truth from field campaigns will be used to validate the approach. The expected outcome is improved understanding of the relationship between snowpack physical properties and remote sensing observations that can form the basis of improved snow retrieval algorithms.
