Inhalt:
Based on the advances of recent Pol-InSAR studies of glaciers and ice sheets and the latest progress in understanding of polarimetric signatures from snow and firn, the relationship between glacier subsurface structure and Pol-InSAR measurements at different frequencies is revisited. The investigations are supported by a new airborne interferometric and polarimetric SAR dataset, acquired 2015 in Greenland, and available GPR data. First results indicate strong volume decorrelation and an interferometric coherence behavior that raises the necessity to introduce subsurface layers into scattering models for the percolation zone of ice sheets.
