Short summary
This paper presents the workflow to retrieve snow water equivalent from radar measurements for the future Canadian radar satellite mission, Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission. The workflow is validated by using airborne radar data collected at Trail Valley Creek, Canada, during winter 2018–2019. We detail important considerations to have in the context of a satellite mission over a vast region such as Canada. Results show that it is possible to achieve the desired accuracy over an Arctic environment.
