TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
This data set contains airborne microwave brightness temperature observations from the Goddard Space Flight Center SWESARR (Snow
Water Equivalent Synthetic Aperture Radar and Radiometer) instrument during the winter (10-12 February 2020) NASA SnowEx 2020 campaign at Grand Mesa, CO.
Observations were made at three frequencies (10.65, 18.7, and 36.5 GHz; referred to as X, K, and Ka bands, respectively), at horizontal polarization with a nominal 45-degree look angle.
