Center Independent Research & Development: GSFC IRAD
Snow Remote Sensing Using Signals of Opportunity (SoOp)âNext Phase
Project Description
This IRAD will collect raw SoOp data at 2 frequencies for a snow target and test the signal processing options to yield a preliminary algorithm.
The project involves building hardware to measure direct and reflected SoOp signals for a snow target at 2 frequencies and 2 polarizations. The 4 channels of data will be analyzed for relationships to snow properties.
