Advancing terrestrial snow depth monitoring with machine learning and L-band InSAR data: a case study using NASA’s SnowEx 2017 data by Ibrahim Olalekan Alabi, Ibrahim Olalekan Alabi, Hans-Peter Marshall, Jodi Mead, Ernesto Trujillo

“…Airborne lidar, although precise, incurs high costs and has limited geographical coverage, thereby necessitating the exploration of alternative, cost-effective methodologies for snow depth estimation. The forthcoming NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, with its 12-day global revisit cycle and 1.25 GHz L-band frequency, introduces a promising avenue for cost-effective, large-scale snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) estimation using L-band Interferometric SAR (InSAR) capabilities. …”
