Inferring Snow Water Equivalent for a Snow-Covered Ground Reflector Using GPS Multipath Signals

A nonlinear least squares fitting algorithm is used to estimate both snow depth and snow density for a snow-layer above a flat ground reflector. The product of these two quantities, snow depth and density, provides an estimate of the snow water equivalent. The input to this algorithm is a simple ray...
