摘要

Over the last 30 years, the use of airborne and satellite remote sensing techniques has revolutionized glaciology through unequaled improvements in the scale and in the temporal and spatial resolutions of cryospheric observations. In this sense, the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) configurations likely was the greatest advance of the past two decades in the monitoring of the Earth's cryosphere. This paper describes a novel polarimetric scattering model to interpret polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) measurements of glaciers and ice sheets. Different scattering components are considered according to the specific glacier facies, in order to infer physical parameters of the ice volume. Total backscattering is modeled as the incoherent sum of possible surface and volume contributions. Surface scattering is described using the X-Bragg model in order to account for roughness, whereas clouds of spheroidal scatterers (either prolates or oblates) are considered to model volume scattering. The model includes differential propagation effects related to firn anisotropy and is therefore able to interpret polarimetric phase differences often present in PolSAR data acquired over glaciers. The developed model is used to interpret different scenarios imaged at L-band in fully polarimetric mode by the E-SAR sensor of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) over test sites located on the Austfonna ice cap, Svalbard, Norway, as part of the ICESAR2007 campaign. The obtained results are consistent with the reference information provided by the available ground measurements about the subsurface structure of the study area and encourage the use of dedicated scattering models for the different glacier zones.
