Ground-based radar measurement campaign in Davos
Our group has carried out a multi-season measurement campaign using a bistatic ground-based radar KAPRI, focused on snow properties.
Bistatic KAPRI observing the snow-covered Rinerhorn.
As part of research into applications of ground-based bistatic radar, our team is investigating the radar scattering properties of dry snow under small bistatic angles using KAPRI, our experimental bistatic, fully polarimetric and interferometric real-aperture radar. By acquiring two separate datasets - one with snow cover, one without - we are able to comparatively investigate the scattering effects occurring within the snow layer.
