Microwave remote sensing of ice and snowA composite theoretical model is proposed to account for effects on emissivity caused by layering, absorption, anisotropy, surface roughness, inhomogeneities and subsurface scattering. The emissivity as a function of frequency is calculated for a two layer model simulating ice or snow covered water or land. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data.
