    • Retrieval of Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice From Surface-Based, Polarimetric, Dual-Frequency Radar Altimetry 

      Willatt, Rosemary; Stroeve, Julienne; Nandan, Vishnu; Newman, Thomas; Mallett, Robbie; Hendricks, Stefan; Ricker, Robert; Mead, James; Itkin, Polona; Tonboe, Rasmus; Wagner, David N.; Spreen, Gunnar; Liston, Glen; Schneebeli, Martin; Krampe, Daniela; Tsamados, Michel; Demir, Oguz; Wilkinson, Jeremy; Jaggi, Matthias; Zhou, Lu; Huntemann, Marcus; Raphael, Ian A.; Jutila, Arttu; Oggier, Marc (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-18)
      Snow depth on sea ice is an Essential Climate Variable and a major source of uncertainty in satellite altimetry-derived sea ice thickness. During winter of the MOSAiC Expedition, the “KuKa” dual-frequency, fully polarized Ku- and Ka-band radar was deployed in “stare” nadir-looking mode to investigate the possibility of combining these two frequencies to retrieve snow depth. Three approaches ...

    • Snowfall and snow accumulation during the MOSAiC winter and spring seasons 

      Wagner, David N.; Shupe, Matthew D.; Cox, Christopher; Persson, Ola G.; Uttal, Taneil; Frey, Markus M.; Kirchgaessner, Amélie; Schneebeli, Martin; Jaggi, Matthias; MacFarlane, Amy R.; Itkin, Polona; Arndt, Stefanie; Hendricks, Stefan; Krampe, Daniela; Nicolaus, Marcel; Ricker, Robert; Regnery, Julia; Kolabutin, Nikolai; Shimanshuck, Egor; Oggier, Marc; Raphael, Ian; Stroeve, Julienne; Lehning, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-17)
      Data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition allowed us to investigate the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation and erosion in great detail for almost the whole accumulation season (November 2019 to May 2020). We computed cumulative snow water equivalent (SWE) over the sea ice based on snow depth and density retrievals from a ...

    • Wind redistribution of snow impacts the Ka- and Ku-band radar signatures of Arctic sea ice 

      Nandan, Vishnu; Willatt, Rosemary; Mallett, Robbie; Stroeve, Julienne; Geldsetzer, Torsten; Scharien, Randall; Tonboe, Rasmus; Yackel, John; Landy, Jack Christopher; Clemens-Sewall, David; Jutila, Arttu; Wagner, David N.; Krampe, Daniela; Huntemann, Marcus; Mahmud, Mallik; Jensen, David; Newman, Thomas; Hendricks, Stefan; Spreen, Gunnar; Macfarlane, Amy; Schneebeli, Martin; Mead, James; Ricker, Robert; Gallagher, Michael; Duguay, Claude; Raphael, Ian; Polashenski, Chris; Tsamados, Michel; Matero, Ilkka; Hoppmann, Mario (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-02)
      Wind-driven redistribution of snow on sea ice alters its topography and microstructure, yet the impact of these processes on radar signatures is poorly understood. Here, we examine the effects of snow redistribution over Arctic sea ice on radar waveforms and backscatter signatures obtained from a surface-based, fully polarimetric Ka- and Ku-band radar at incidence angles between 0∘ (nadir) and 50∘. ...
