Title: Snow melting over the Arctic
Description:
This video presents an unprecedented combination of simultaneously high temporal and spatial resolution of Arctic melting (in comparison to previous retrievals based on passive microwave signatures), observed in backscatter composites over Ellesmere Island, Canada and north-western Greenland, including the Nares strait that divides them.
Composites were formed using available images from both of the Sentinel-1 satellites, in HV-polarisation, created with 2-day temporal window with 1-day steps.
