19.3.1. Snow water equivalent inversion techniques using passive microwave remote sensing
The long-term satellite passive microwave brightness temperature data of almost 40 years from the 1980s to present is of great value for snow parameter estimation. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) of United States has archived daily passive microwave data since 1979, including the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), the Special Sensor Microwave/Image (SSM/I), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager, and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). As a continuation of the legacy of AMSR-E, the Advanced Microwave ...
