The field campaign described in this article has provided the first archive of ground based synthetic aperture radar imagery for the study of the snow cover. Different radar signatures are present in the archive, such as those corresponding to natural avalanches,artificially triggered avalanches, snow fall, snowdrift, etc. corresponding to two winter seasons, and accompanied by ground truth (meteorological) data. This variety of data will allow the study of different aspects of the snow cover. The snow height retrieval, as well as the detection and classification of spontaneous avalanches, have already been introduced in this article, confirming the potential use of GB-SAR for the monitoring of dry snow. But there is still work to be done...
