“…Refrozen snow is dry snow that has gone through several melt-froze cycles. Passive microwave remote sensing of dry snow has been studied extensively by using semi-empirical models [1,2] or theoretical models including strong fluctuation approach [3][4][5], radiation transfer with discrete scatterers [6][7][8] and dense media radiation transfer equations [9,10]. However, the experimental and theoretical studies of wet snow are still very limited [3,[11][12][13][14].…”

“…The decrease of radiobrightness temperature of the soil-snowatmosphere system at the frequency f = 19.5 GHz and especially at f = 37.5 GHz during one winter due to the growth of the mean size of ice crystals over the season, the smoothing of the dependence of radiobrightness temperature on the viewing angle at f = 3.95 GHz caused by the appearance of layer of depth-hoar, different frequency dependencies of snow radiobrightness temperature corresponding to different snow cover structures [4,5] these are only a few examples of the significant influence the stratigraphy of snow cover has on its microwave signal. Therefore, a reliable interpretation of remotely sensed data requires consideration of the snow stratification and structure.…”
