I am currently doing literature review on snow depth retrieval methods using passive remote sensing. While the algorithm in Chang (1987) says it uses brightness temperature difference at 18 and 37 GHz frequencies (Horizontal)(https://nsidc.org/sites/nsidc.org/files/technical-references/amsr-atbd-supp12-snow.pdf) in few other papers it is mentioned as vertical polarisation( Article Estimation of Snow Depth over the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau ba...
). Which is correct representation.I would be grateful for all the responses and time taken to answer this query.
Thankyou.
Srinivasarao Tanniru i have read lot of literature for snow cover monitoring and depth analysiss. According to many studies VV polarisation is best suitable for snow depth analysis.
