Modelled sensitivity of the snow regime to topography, shrub fraction and shrub height [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Recent studies show that shrubs are colonizing higher latitudes and altitudes in the Arctic. Shrubs affect the wind transport, accumulation and melt of snow, but there have been few sensitivity studies of how shrub expansion might affect snowmelt rates ...

Estimating fractional snow cover in vegetated environments using MODIS surface reflectance data
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2022 Advances in snow-cover mapping techniques have resulted in more accurate estimation of fractional snow cover (FSC) in areas with no vegetation; however, vegetation interference limits the accuracy of available snow cover information from satellite ...

Optimization of snow-related parameters in the Noah land surface model (v3.4.1) using a micro-genetic algorithm (v1.7a) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 Snowfall prediction is important in winter and early spring because snowy conditions generate enormous economic damages. However, there is a lack of previous studies dealing with snow prediction, especially using land surface models (LSMs).

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Forest cover is a crucial factor that influences the performance of optical satellite-based snow cover monitoring algorithms. However, evaluation of such algorithms in forested landscapes is rare due to lack of reliable in situ data in such regions.
