SUMMARY:Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) Training
LOCATION:Waterloo\, ON\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:SMRT is a new active/passive microwave model for seasonal snow and sea-ice 
 developed in the framework of an ESA project aiming at exploring the role o
 f snow microstructure and unifying the ingredients of existing model/theori
 es (MEMLS, DMRT-QMS, HUT, ...). More information is available on the websit
 e http://www.smrt-model.science/ and in a paper <a class="moz-txt-link-free

 94/gmd-11-2763-2018</a>\nWORKSHOP\nThe aim of this 2.5 day workshop (Thu 4t
 h July morning to Sat 6th noon) is to provide a general introduction to sno
 w microwave modelling and a specific introduction to SMRT. Participants wil
 l have an opportunity to learn how to use the SMRT model and compare differ
 ent modelling approaches (e.g. IBA, DMRT, ...). In particular, lectures, pr
 acticals and discussions will cover:\n\n - Snow microstructure and its impa
 ct on microwave scattering\n - Different electromagnetic theories to comput
 e scattering from random media\n - Methods to solve the radiative transfer 
 equation\n - Modular approach to SMRT to allow easy model intercomparisons 
 (DMRT, MEMLS, HUT, ...)\n - How you can extend SMRT and contribute to build
  the next generation microwave community model\n - Applications of SMRTSupp
 ort will be offered to help participants use SMRT for their own research.\n
 \nMore information on the venue and the registration will be posted under h
 ttps://smrt2019.sciencesconf.org/.\n
