Simulated Ka- and Ku-band radar altimeter height and freeboard estimation on snow-covered Arctic sea ice

<p>Owing to differing and complex snow geophysical properties, radar waves of different wavelengths undergo variable penetration through snow-covered sea ice. However, the mechanisms influencing radar altimeter backscatter from snow-covered sea ice, especially at Ka- and Ku-band frequencies, a...
