Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice Retrieval Using a Synergy of Sentinel‐3's Active and Passive Microwave Instruments
Connor Nelson + Fabrizio Baordo + Jack Landy ...
Snow depth remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in satellite‐derived sea ice thickness (SIT). Here, we introduce the novel Nadir Radiometer and Radar Synergy...
