Technologies for Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission — The project aims to develop a dual-band subarray element and transmit receive module at Ku-Band for a space borne SAR system to prove the core technologies required for high resolution Snow Water Equivalent ( SWE ) observation. Snow plays a critical role in climatological, hydrological, and ecological processes in the Northern Hemisphere. Canadian scientists recognize that the lack of high-resolution SWE data creates a significant observational gap, which limits the operational environmental monitoring, services, and prediction capabilities. The resultant suite of space borne measurements from this project will address observation gaps related to sea, ice and ocean winds, creating a cross-cutting mission concept of broad relevance to cryosphere and ocean science.
