In the latest years the role of the cryosphere in our daily life has been of growing interest. The climate change rules the process of melting and the snow has become a crucial water storage to be monitored. In particular, the monitoring of slightly or moderately wet snow is nowadays a significant challenge under different perspectives. In this paper, preliminary results from an experimental test carried out during spring 2022 using a portable microwave radar are shown, highlighting the capability of that instrument to monitor wet snowpacks. Here, a comparison between radar and manual data is reported. Even if more analysis has to be carried out in the future, the preliminary results show a general agreement.

Abstract
In the latest years the role of the cryosphere in our daily life has been of growing interest. The climate change rules the process of melting and the snow has become a crucial water storage to be monitored. In particular, the monitoring of slightly or moderately wet snow is nowadays a significant challenge under different perspectives. In this paper, preliminary results from an experimental test carried out during spring 2022 using a portable microwave radar are shown, highlighting the capability of that instrument to monitor wet snowpacks. Here, a comparison between radar and manual data is reported. Even if more analysis has to be carried out in the future, the preliminary results show a general agreement.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
