摘要

Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is a crucial parameter in the study of climatology and hydrology. Active microwave remote sensing is one of the most promising techniques for estimating the distribution of SWE at high spatial resolutions in large areas. Development of reliable and accurate inversion techniques to recover SWE is one of the most important tasks in current microwave researches. However, a number of snow pack properties, including snow density, particle size, crystal shape, stratification, ground surface roughness and soil moisture, affect the microwave scattering signals and need to be properly modeled and exploited. In this paper, we developed a multi-layer, multi-scattering model for dry snow based on recent theoretical advances in snow and surface modeling. In the proposed multi-layer model, Matrix Doubling method is used to account for scattering from each snow layer; and Advanced Integral Equation Model (AIEM) is incorporated into the model to describe surface scattering. Comparisons were made between the model predictions and field observations from NASA Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) during Third Intensive Observation Period (IOP3) and SARALPS-2007 field experiment supported by ESA. The results indicated that model predictions were in good agreement with field observations. With the confirmed confidence, the analyses on multiple scattering, scatterer shape, and snow stratification effects were further made based on the model simulations. Furthermore, a parameterized snow backscattering model with a simple form and high computational efficiency was developed using a database generated by the multiplescattering model. For a wide range of snow and soil properties, this parameterized model agrees well with the multiple-scattering model, with the root mean square error 0.20 dB, 0.24 dB and 0.43 dB for VV, HH and VH polarizations, respectively. This simplified model can be useful for the development of SWE retrieval algorithm and for fast simulations of radar signals over snow cover in land data assimilation systems.
