Determination of Dielectric Constants using Reflection Coefficient Measurement and its Application to Snow and Ice Monitoring

[ABSTRACT]The purpose of our research is to investigate and clarify the microwave response from snow and ice on a flat surface and to develop the measurement methods based on these results. The authors attempt to apply those methods to development of microwave sensor for road-surface condition monitoring of winter road maintenance operation, and to ground truth of SAR observations on a sea ice and a snow field. In this paper, a determination method of dielectric constants using reflection coefficients measurement with oblique incidence is introduced. This method is based on free space technique which is often used for determination of dielectric constants of various materials. The authors have conducted experiments and tried to apply the method to determining dielectric constants of snow and ice. And some results of those experiments are introduced here.
