D-2-5 Snow Depth Theoretical Basis Document

The purpose of this document is to provide the theoretical basis for the estimation of snow depth by means of satellite altimeter data. The method here proposed is mostly oriented for the CryoSat-2 SIRAL instrument, however it could potentially be used in any kind of radar altimeter, provided that the data product allow to compute a calibrated value of the surface backscattering coefficient.
