MEVALI - 2012 (Mar), Microwave Emission Validation over sub-Arctic Lake Ice |
 |
 |
 |
Kiruna, Sweden - 29 flying hours + PIK & MIX, 20 hours
Scientific Objectives:
- Simulation of grain size depth profiles most difficult demand on snow module.
- Field data will provide pit profiles distributed in time and space.
- With distributed met data we can evaluate snow modules that generate snow profiles of temperature, grain size, density, wetness, etc.(Essery)
- With observed microwave and IR brightness temperatures we can evaluate snow microwave radiative transfer routines (Harlow).
- Carry out evaluation of snow RT at frequencies above 100 GHz.
- Measurements on the ground of grain and temp profiles
- Measurements of brightness temperatures with radiometers e.g. ARIES and Heimann.
- Dropsondes key for modelling absorption of atmospheric profile
