22 Conclusions - The dry snow SWE retrieval from the interferometric phase requires an estimate of the mean density of the snow pack. The developed interferometric snow water equivalent retrieval algorithm with variable snow density (VD-SWE algorithm) provides a robust and reliable basis for SWE retrieval from interferometric phase time series. The algorithm does not require information from other sources. - The error estimates point out that possible errors in SWE due to errors in estimating the snow density, snow temperature and the state of the initial snow pack are of the order of a few per cent maximum. - First studies with limited data set of ALOS PALSAR data show that coherence in snow covered areas is at least partly preserved over a 46 days period. The observed phase shifts are in the expected range, but the available data set limits the study to small accumulation rates because of the dry winter 2006 / Further analysis of the data set is ongoing.
