DESCRIPTION:Abstract-\n\nThis talk focuses on signal processing techniques 
 for environmental sensing data\, focusing on snowpack and precipitation mo
 nitoring using distributed temperature profiling (DTP) probes and millimet
 er-wave (mmWave) radar. We discuss methods for processing spatially dense 
 temperature time series to assess snow thermal insulation\, detect snow su
 rface changes\, and estimate snow depth using Fourier filtering and variab
 ility analysis. We then highlight the role of low-cost\, 60 GHz FMCW mmWav
 e radars in measuring snow depth\, estimating snow density and snow water 
 equivalent (SWE)\, and classifying precipitation using range-velocity anal
 yses. The talk will also cover the development of a weatherproof\, remotel
 y operable radar system for long-term outdoor deployment. By showcasing re
 al-time snowpack range profiles and precipitation classification\, this ta
 lk highlights the intersection of signal processing\, remote sensing\, and
  environmental science\, offering insights relevant to engineers and resea
 rchers working on real-time sensing systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Stijn Wielandt
