摘要
SnowEx is a multi-year airborne snow campaign led by NASA. The purpose of SnowEx is to figure out how much water is stored in Earth's terrestrial snow-covered regions. As part of the 2017 NASA SnowEx campaign, we deployed a portable triple-frequency (9.6GHz, 13.5GHz and 17.2GHz) and fully polarimetric frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar at Fraser, Colorado. The radar was installed on a 60cmx60cm frame to enable a full reconstruction of the three-dimensional variability per each radar channel. The tomography technique uses the radar echo from the multiple viewing positions and provides a unique access to the vertical structure of the snow layer. With current setup, the range resolution is 30cm. In this paper, we will review the radar design and signal-processing algorithm - time domain back projection. The generated vertical images show the snow stratigraphy, which is consistent with ground snow pit measurement. The continuous operation demonstrates diurnal thawing and refreezing process. The snow density is retrieved by comparing to the snow free image.
