Abstract :
The analysis of the relationships between FI & SPD and SWE/SD was carried out using experimental data and simulations obtained using the DMRT-QCA Multilayer model. The comparison of experimental results and model analyses made it possible to investigate the polarizing effect of snow layering and to better assess the sensitivity of FI and SPD to the snow accumulation.
