Experimental investigation of dielectric properties of seasonal snow at field observatories in the northwest Himalaya

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2016
Radio-echo sounding techniques are very useful for fast profiling of seasonal snowpack. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is used widely for various cryospheric applications, such as snow/glacier depth estimation, snow layer identification and snow water ...
