Short summary
A multisensor C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) near-daily time series in an Arctic environment was developed to create a high-resolution freeze/thaw (FT) algorithm with an accuracy of 96 %. The FT detection was highly correlated to near-surface state as measured by soil temperature. Small but significant FT date differences were identified for different Arctic ecotypes, showing the spatial variability of freeze/thaw process in Arctic environment.
