Seasonal variations of the backscattering coefficient measured by radar altimeters over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Spaceborne radar altimeters are a valuable tool for observing the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The radar wave interaction with the snow provides information on both the surface and the subsurface of the snowpack due to its dependence on the snow properties. However, the penetration of the radar wave with...
