Abstract
The SnowScat device, a fully-polarimetric scatterometer originally designed to measure the radar cross-section of snow at a frequency range from 9.2 to 17.8 GHz (X-band to Ku-band), has recently been extended towards a high-resolution tomographic measurement mode. Such tomographic profiling observations provide further insights into the complex electromagnetic interaction within snowpacks, e.g., by revealing different layers, such as melt-freeze crusts, inside the snowpack. In this contribution, we report first results from an initial tomographic measurement campaign carried out at a test site in Davos, Switzerland, in winter 2014/2015.
