SUMMARY:Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model training workshop
LOCATION:Bremerhaven\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:SMRT is a passive/radar/altimeter microwave model for seasonal snow and sea
 -ice developed  in the framework of an ESA project aiming at exploring the 
 role of snow microstructure and unifying the ingredients of existing model/
 theories (MEMLS, DMRT-QMS, HUT, ...). More information is available on the 
 website (http://www.smrt-model.science/)http://www.smrt-model.science/ (htt
 p://www.smrt-model.science/). SMRT is available from GitHub (https://github
 .com/smrt-model/smrt)https://github.com/smrt-model/smrt (https://github.com
 /smrt-model/smrt).\nThe aim of this 2.5 day workshop is to provide a genera
 l introduction to snow microwave modelling and a specific introduction to S
 MRT. Participants will have an opportunity to learn how to use the SMRT mod
 el for different cryospheric environments, sea-ice, terrestrial snow, firn,
  etc. In particular, lectures, practicals and discussions will cover:\n- Sn
 ow microstructure and its impact on microwave scattering\n- Different elect
 romagnetic theories (IBA, DMRT, SCE) to compute scattering from random medi
 a\n- Numerous ways to represent a scattering medium, with application to sn
 ow, saline ice, fresh ice, ground, rough interfaces, ….\n- Methods to solve
  the radiative transfer equation and the SMRT altimetry extension.\n- “Brin
 g your data (or ideas)”. Support will be offered to help participants use S
 MRT for their own research.\nWe would like to welcome those of all career a
 nd expertise levels. Attendance at the workshop is free but registration wi
 ll be mandatory and the number of workshop places will be limited to 27 par
 ticipants. Participants will need to fund their own travel to Bremerhaven, 
 food and accommodation.\nFor further discussion on SMRT, we will travel to 
 Berlin for IUGG2023 after the workshop !\nThe application is open until 14t
 h April on the workshop website (https://smrt2023.sciencesconf.org/)https:/
 /smrt20>23.sciencesconf.org/ (https://smrt20</span) and we will confi
 rm place allocations by the 28th April.\n
