Abstract :
During April of 1995, a field and aircraft experiment was conducted in central and northern Alaska. A millimeter-wave imaging radiometer (MIR), and other sensors, were flown on-board a NASA ER-2 aircraft in a grid pattern centered over Fairbanks. Resulting MIR data show brightness temperature patterns that are related to land cover and snowmelt patterns
