Abstract
Snow water equivalence is an important parameter for studies of the natural sciences, particularly in hydrology and climatology. This study demonstrates a concept of estimating snow water equivalence under the consideration of a dual frequency Ku band (13.4 GHz and 17 GHz) and a dual polarization system
