Abstract	In this paper, a multilayer version of the Dense Medium Radiative Transfer (DMRT) model has been implemented for the active remote sensing. The effects of multilayer structure of snowpack and its temporal evolution on backscattering have been investigated. The study has been focused on the effect of layering structure of snowpack typical of the Alpine regions. The ground measurements used as model inputs have been collected on the Italian Alps during the 2009-2010 winter season.
