SPS Lecture & Networking: A Signal Processing Perspective on mmWave Radar and Temperature Profiling Probes for Snowpack and Precipitation Observations

Room: 430, Bldg: Soda Hall, Wozniak Lounge, University of California Berkeley, 1860 Le Roy Ave, Berkeley, California, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/439899

Abstract- This talk focuses on signal processing techniques for environmental sensing data, focusing on snowpack and precipitation monitoring using distributed temperature profiling (DTP) probes and millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar. We discuss methods for processing spatially dense temperature time series to assess snow thermal insulation, detect snow surface changes, and estimate snow depth using Fourier filtering and variability analysis. We then highlight the role of low-cost, 60 GHz FMCW mmWave radars in measuring snow depth, estimating snow density and snow water equivalent (SWE), and classifying precipitation using range-velocity analyses. The talk will also cover the development of a weatherproof, remotely operable radar system for long-term outdoor deployment. By showcasing real-time snowpack range profiles and precipitation classification, this talk highlights the intersection of signal processing, remote sensing, and environmental science, offering insights relevant to engineers and researchers working on real-time sensing systems.
