Abstract: | In this study, we present the application of the passive microwave emission models to snow-cover environment monitoring and
assessment in Northeast China. The study employs the radiative transfer function and strong fluctuation theory to develop
the models. We used the exponential form of a spherical symmetric correlation function to describe random permittivity fluctuations.
From strong fluctuation, we then obtained the phase matrix and extinction coefficients of snow-packs for the spherical symmetric
correlation function. We also used the vector radiative transfer formula for the layer of a random medium by solving Gaussian
quadrature and eigen analysis. By comparing the brightness temperatures at 5, 10.7, 18, and 37 GHz, the modelling results
agreed with experimental data of dry-snow physical parameters as measured in the fieldwork. |
