Abstract Microwave radiometry provides a useful tool to monitor the properties of snow cover on a global scale. The current state of knowledge of microwave response to dry and wet snow is discussed, and the effects of various snow, soil, and atmospheric parameters to the observed antenna temperature are reviewed. Recent advances in retrieval of the water equivalent of snow cover are discussed.
