Detection of rain-on-snow (ROS) events and ice layer formation using passive microwave radiometry: A context for Peary caribou habitat in the Canadian Arctic
Passive microwaves can be used to monitor ROS and ice layers in snow. An increase in ROS occurrence has been observed since 1979 in the Arctic. An increase in ice layer occurrence has been observed since 1979 in the Arctic. Peary population numbers are impacted by ROS and ice layers.
