Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focuses on snow polarization properties to construct a new monitoring system of snow physical parameters. We conducted in situ polarimetric measurement using a high-precision optical instrument and developed a radiative transfer model for the atmosphere-snow-sea ice system. Results indicate that the polarimetric measurements revealed for the first time the existence of neutral points of polarization in the snow surface, and the possibility of the detection in the wet snow surface. In addition, new finding is a development of an advanced snow grain shape model seamlessly representing a geometrical shape and an optical properties of various snow types. Based on these results, we constructed the snow monitoring system using satellite data.
