O článku:
In this work we present a methodology for the mapping of Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) temporal variations
based on the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry technique and Sentinel-1 data. The shift in the interferometric
phase caused by the refraction of the microwave signal penetrating the snow layer is isolated and exploited to generate
maps of temporal variation of SWE from coherent SAR interferograms. The main advantage of the proposed
methodology with respect to those based on the inversion of microwave SAR backscattering models is its simplicity and
the reduced number of required in-situ SWE measurements. The maps, updated up to every 6 days, can attain a spatial
resolution up to 20 m with sub-centimetre ΔSWE measurement accuracy in any weather and sun illumination condition.
We present results obtained using the proposed methodology over a study area in Finland. These results are compared
with in-situ measurements of ΔSWE, showing a reasonable match with a mean accuracy of about 6 mm.
