Short summary
This paper provides a physical model to analyze the brightness temperature time series over the firn aquifer in Greenland and Antarctica. The model can match the Vertical polarized and Horizontal polarized brightness temperature time series well. This model provides a potential to study the aquifer water table depth and liquid water content with radiometry.
