L-band Observations of Soil and Trees in Freezing/Thawing Conditions – LOSTinFTC
Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Anna Kontu. Passive microwave observations at L-band (1.4 GHz) can detect soil freeze/thaw status based on the differences in the electrical properties of ice and liquid water. This method is suitable for detecting autumn freezing, but during spring thawing the liquid water in melting snow confounds the signal from …
