EGU session
on optical remote sensing of snow
Dear colleagues:
Please, consider the submission
of your abstract for the EGU-2019 session on optical remote sensing of snow.
Deadline: January 10, 2019.
https://www.egu2019.eu/
Session CR2.2
EGU - 2019
Vienna
April 7-12, 2019
Snow is composed of ice
crystals of various shapes and sizes with possible inclusion of pollutants such
as soot, dust, and biological matter. It is highly reflective substance in the
visible. Due to this factor and also to its large spatial extent snow
significantly influences the albedo of the Earth.
This session is aimed at remote
sensing of snow microphysical properties (snow grain size, snow specific
surface area), macro-physical properties (surface roughness and topography),
snow optical thickness, pollution load, snow albedo (spectral and broadband)
using groundbased, airborne, and satellite optical instrumentation. Also,
theoretical approaches for the calculation of snow spectral, polarization, and
angular radiative characteristics will be presented in this session. Special
attention will be given to the development of inversion theory for retrieval of
snow properties from remote sensing data. Retrievals of snow properties using
satellite imagers such as MODIS, SGLI, OLCI, SLSTR, and others will be
discussed.
