Design and Feasibility Testing for a Ground-based, Three-dimensional, Ultra-high-resolution, Synthetic Aperture Radar to Image Snowpacks

This thesis works through the design of a radar-based system for imaging snowpacks remotely and over large areas to assist in avalanche prediction. The key to such a system is the ability to image volumes of snow at shallow, spatially-varying angles of incidence. To achieve this prerequisite, the de...
