The snowscat ground-based polarimetric scatterometer: Calibration and initial measurements from Davos Switzerland

We present the first results from calibration of the SnowScat scatterometer that operated at Weissfluhjoch during the Winter season of 2009. The instrument has been designed to operate in severe alpine environments. SnowScat has acquired a data set that will be used for validation of SWE retrieval algorithms in support of the CoReH20 mission. Processing and calibration of the entire Weissfluhjoch data set is ongoing.
