Interpreting Ganymede's Microwave Emission: Modeling Emission and Scattering From Bright Terrain

An advanced microwave radiative transfer model is developed for Ganymede by enhancing the microwave emission model of layered snowpacks (MEMLS). It integrates topographic effects into the heat conduction equation for temperature profiles and treats ice as Rayleigh scatterers to address volume scatte...
