More than one billion people globally are dependent on freshwater runoff that originates as snow and ice. Space-based measurements of microwave radiation emitted from snowpack provide an important information source that can be used to improve our knowledge of the mass of snow within a snowpack, and hence improve our understanding of available freshwater resources.
