SUMMARY:Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) Training
LOCATION:Waterloo\, ON\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:SMRT is a new active/passive microwave model for seasonal snow and sea-ice 
 developed in the framework of an ESA project aiming at exploring the role o
 f snow microstructure and unifying the ingredients of existing model/theori
 es (MEMLS, DMRT-QMS, HUT, ...). More information is available on the websit
 e http://www.smrt-model.science/ (http://www.smrt-model.science/) and in a 
 paper https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-11-2763-2018 (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd
 -11-2763-2018)\nWORKSHOP\nThe aim of this 2.5 day workshop (Thu 4th July mo
 rning to Sat 6th noon) is to provide a general introduction to snow microwa
 ve modelling and a specific introduction to SMRT. Participants will have an
  opportunity to learn how to use the SMRT model and compare different model
 ling approaches (e.g. IBA, DMRT, ...). In particular, lectures, practicals 
 and discussions will cover:\n\n - Snow microstructure and its impact on mic
 rowave scattering\n - Different electromagnetic theories to compute scatter
 ing from random media\n - Methods to solve the radiative transfer equation\
 n - Modular approach to SMRT to allow easy model intercomparisons (DMRT, ME
 MLS, HUT, ...)\n - How you can extend SMRT and contribute to build the next
  generation microwave community model\n - Applications of SMRTSupport will 
 be offered to help participants use SMRT for their own research.\n\nMore in
 formation on the venue and the registration will be posted under https://sm
 rt2019.sciencesconf.org/ (https://smrt2019.sciencesconf.org/).\n
