A Comparison of Passive Microwave Derive Melt Extent to Melt Intensity Estimated from Combined Optical and Thermal Satellite Signatures Over the Greenland Ice Sheet from 2001-2005 Unquiea Wade Mentor: Dr. Derrick Lampkin The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) is a Science and Technology Center established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2005 The mission of CReSIS is to develop new technologies and computer models to measure and predict the response of sea level change to the mass balance of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.? NSF’s Science and Technology Center (STC) program combines the efforts of scientists and engineers to respond to problems of global significance, supporting the intense, sustained, collaborative work that is required to achieve progress in these areas.? The earth is a system Which is effected by processes that occur Responds to these processes and changes These changes are then study and monitored Data Special Sensor Microwave/ Imager brightness temperature grids were downloaded from National Snow and Ice Data Center. (NDIDC) SSMI files were collected for three different channels Satellite Ascending/Descending: 19H.GHZ,37V .GHZ, /37V.GHZ Brightness Temperature This distinct change is observed in the brightness temperature (Tb) signal according to the Rayleigh Jeans approximation: where Tb refers to the microwave brightness temperature at a particular wavelength (λ or frequency υ), ε is the microwave emissivity, and Tp is the effective physical temperature of the snow (Zwally, 1977) Melt Occurrence and Extent Retrival Techniques Technique 1:Cross Polarization Gradient Ratio (XPGR ) [Abdalati and Steffen [1995, 1997] Technique 2: Dirnual Ampltiude Variation (DAV) [Ramage and Isacks [2002] XPGR Derived Melt Occurrence (Day 161 , Year 2000) Blue: Melt Occurrence White: No Melt Occurrence DAV Derived Melt Occurrence (Day 161 , Year 2000) Blu
