Abstract
This document sums up the present and future power of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radars data for snow and ice application in hydrology. Present studies are set in order to determine an explicit relationship between the backscattered signal and the characteristics of snow (Snow Water Equivalent) or glacial mass-balance (Equilibrium Line).
