20 Conclusions A procedure for mapping changes of SWE using spaceborne SAR Interferometry has been developed and tested. It requires repeat pass SAR data and snow information at reference stations as input. A limited ALOS PALSAR data set (Full Pol., FBS) of the Austrian Alps has been analysed in order to test the algorithm. Due to the long repeat interval of 46 days the L Band signal decorrelates over most snow covered areas. Coherence suitable for InSAR processing can only be observed in areas with shallow snow. Test samples of SWE maps over such areas were produced. The InSAR based SWE / snow height retrieval provides reasonable results, as locally validated with a small data set of in situ snow observations at automatic meteo stations and coarse resolution snow maps from MODIS. Though L band SAR is less sensitive to temporal decorrelation than higher radar frequencies, shorter repeat intervals are needed for comprehensive exploitation of the InSAR technique for SWE mapping.
