摘要

The Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) snow emission model forms the basis of the European Space Agency's GlobSnow snow water equivalent (SWE) product (Takala et al., 2011). The model applies a semi-empirical radiative transfer calculation to account for the interaction of the snow medium with microwaves; separate components are applied to account for vegetation, the atmosphere, and emission from the ground surface. For the retrieval of SWE, an innovative method is used to account for spatial and temporal variability in snow conditions by retrieving an effective parameter describing the scattering behavior of microwaves in the snow (a proxy indicator of the microwave effective snow grain size). In this study, the influence of differing snow conditions, as well as varying land cover, on the retrieved microwave effective snow grain size was analyzed. Passive microwave measurements were acquired using tower-based, mobile sled-based and airborne radiometers in a mixed forest environment near Sodankyla, Finland. Forward simulations at the tower site over an entire winter period showed that the use of an empirical relation to modify the classical in situ measured grain size produced HUT model bias errors less than 6 K on average at 19 and 37 GHz from a similar to 20-80 cm deep boreal snowpack. Model simulations for airborne and sled-based observations showed that using a simplified 2-layer representation of the snowpack improves simulation biases and RMSE, although modification of the measured grain size was again necessary to achieve these results, regardless of the layering configuration. The microwave effective grain size retrieved from HUT predictions was closely related to a simple average grain size measured in situ, both in terms of magnitude and temporal trend. This is an important finding as the retrieval scheme of Takala et al. (2011) relies on the microwave effective grain size to retain a degree of physical basis for values to be generally applicable over larger areas, which is challenging because this free parameter also accounts for errors unrelated to the effective snow grain size (i.e. vegetation, soil conditions, scene heterogeneity, etc.).
