Abstract
In this paper we present processing and analysis results of an airborne Ku-band InSAR, constructed at the University of Massachusetts, and flown on a Cessna 208 Caravan over the Trail Valley Creek region in Canada's Northwest Territories during the 2018–19 snow season. In this paper, we describe the Ku-band InSAR, provide some intermediate results and discuss on how these data can be used for furthering the science in the remote sensing of snow.
