The current document gather the results of the study done to investigate the feasibility of snow depth retrieval by means of Altimeter data. The main idea is to investigate the sensitivity of SLAR to snow and if it would be possible to correlate changes in snow depth with changes in the waveforms parameters.
To conduct the study some areas covered by both SAR and SARIN data were selected. The areas are characterized by flat topography to easy the data analysis. Model data over these area have been found and used to compare the results.
In the following data analysis and main results will be detailed and discussed.
