Abstract
Strong variations in the coherent transmittance of thermal microwave radiation at frequencies of 22.2, 30, 37.5, 60, and 94 GHz are experimentally found in samples of freshly fallen and fine-grained snow. It is established that one of the reasons for these variations is strong forward scattering of coherent intensity by irregularities of snow density that are large compared to the wavelength.
