| Abstract | In this paper, we mainly studied of microwave emission behavior of shallow snow cover with the field experiments over Huabei Plain, China., The evaluation of microwave emission character over snow surface was using the data collected by a ground-based multi-frequency and dualpolarization microwave radiometer (RPG-8CH-DP) at 10.7 GHz, 18.7GHz and 36.5 GHz, with the incidence angles ranging from 20deg to 60deg. Through analysis of the observation brightness temperature, we found that the radiation behavior of thin snow cover is very different from that of deep snow, especially during melting and refreezing period of thin snow cover. One is that the emission over shallow snow surface increased as frequencies increase. Secondly, at the same frequency, when shallow snow was melt in diurnal refreezing-thaw cycle, the emission would decrease. These two emission behavior were caused by the attenuation of snow cover was weak than the increment of emission from the underground snow surface. From this study, it has been shown that the ground-based microwave radiometry provides a useful tool to investigate the radiation characteristics of thin snow cover and snow type identification. It also helps to evaluate snow emission models and develop retrieval algorithms of snow characteristics from space-borne microwave radiometer data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
