| Abstract | In this paper, we model the backscattering coefficients of multi-layer dry snowpacks, based on Dense Media Radiative Transfer theory (DMRT) with the Quasicrystalline Approximation (QCA). The DMRT model accounts for adhesive aggregate effects, which leads to dense media Mie scattering by using a Sticky particle model. The same set of DMRT equations are used for modeling both active and passive remote sensing. The model is validated by using the Cold-Land Processes Field Experiment CLPX ground based polarimetric scatterometry observation at local-scale observation site (LSOS) and airborne polarimetric Ku-band scatterometer (POLSCAT) data at Fool-Creek, Fraser. The snow density profiles are from ground observation and grain sizes are fitting parameters. It shows that the co-polarization simulations are in good agreement with the data, the cross-polarization simulations are around 2 dB lower than ground based observation and 5 dB lower than airborne observation. With the same set of multi-layer snowpack profile, the QCA/DMRT model matched co-polarization backscattering coefficients and all 4 channels of brightness temperature observations simultaneously at LSOS. The cross-polarization simulation can be improved by 3-dimensional numerical solutions of Maxwell equations (NMM3D). Study at Fool-Creek shows that NMM3D/DMRT simulations can match both co-polarization and cross-polarization observations simultaneously. |

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.
