Abstract :
In this paper, we evaluate the capability of the microwave emission model that including the Dense Media Radiative Transfer Model (DMRT) and AIEM for simulation of dry snow emissivity. We compared the model predictions with the ground experimental measurements. The comparison shows our snow microwave emission model agrees quite well with the measurements
