Seasonal snow is an essential water resource in many mountain regions. However, the
spatio-temporal variability in mountain snow depth or snow water equivalent (SWE) at …

Cold regions, including high-latitude and high-altitude landscapes, are experiencing
profound environmental changes driven by global warming. With the advance of earth …

Agriculture is of huge economic significance in The Netherlands where the provision of real-
time, reliable information on crop development is essential to support the transition towards …

Soil moisture is an important variable in agricultural and hydrological applications. Sentinel-
1 (A/B) satellite provides high-resolution (∼ 10 m) synthetic aperture radar data, and its high …

Tree species maps derived from satellite imagery increasingly support forest administrations
and nature conservation authorities with large-scale and up-to-date information. However …

Satellite instruments operating at microwave frequencies enable the monitoring of soil
freeze/thaw (F/T) state of large areas. In this study, seasonal variations in space-borne SAR …

Soil moisture is an essential parameter for a better understanding of water processes in the
soil–vegetation–atmosphere continuum. Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is well …

The physical drivers of Sentinel-1 C-band backscatter observations during snow
accumulation are still uncertain. To investigate these, backscatter fluctuations (in co …

Monitoring variations in the extent of wet snow over space and time is essential for many
applications, such as hydrology, mountain ecosystems, meteorology and avalanche …

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite and AirSWOT airborne
instrument are the first imaging radar-altimeters designed with near-nadir and low incidence …
