This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan, is for $287,548 to conduct studies on physical models of microwave radar scattering at X-band and Ku-band frequencies for terrestrial snow. The research aims to (1) develop forward physical dense media radiative transfer models, (2) validate the models with data from the SNOWSAR and SNOWSCAT aircraft and ground-based measurement programs, (3) develop and test retrieval algorithms for snow water equivalent and grain size using multi-frequency and dual-polarization radar data, and (4) develop a combined active-passive retrieval algorithm using the physical dense media radiative model and passive radiometry. This grant-funded research project is part of the "RADAR SCATTERING FROM TERRESTRIAL SNOW AT X BAND AND KU BAND: FORWARD PHYSICAL MODELS, VALIDATION WI" program and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Michigan has extensive experience conducting research for federal agencies like the Department of Defense and NASA through both prime and subcontract awards.
