Study on data processing for snowpack monitoring using above-the-ground radars

Snow is an important element which can have an impact on the everyday life. It can be a source of fresh water in several areas of the globe, but it can also causes environmental disasters, like avalanches or floods. From here, the need to study the composition of the snow itself and to monitor its variation. To do this, above-the-ground radar devices were used to take datasets in the site of Tathela, Sodankyla, Finnish Lapland. This data were then processed and compared to in-situ measurements to obtain relevant informations about the snowpack.
