Application of theoretical models to active and passive remote sensing of saline ice [PDF]

The random medium model is used to interpret the polarimetric active and passive measurements of saline ice. The ice layer is described as a host ice medium embedded with randomly distributed inhomogeneities, and the underlying sea water is considered as

Daily seamless 30-m fractional snow cover mapping via an adaptive Time-Series approach

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Accurate daily mapping of 30-m fractional snow cover (FSC) is critical for hydrological modeling and disaster assessment. Frequent cloud cover and satellite revisit cycles create significant data gaps in high-resolution optical imagery (e.g., Landsat ...

An accurate snow cover product for the Moroccan Atlas Mountains: Optimization of the MODIS NDSI index threshold and development of snow fraction estimation models

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
In semi-arid Mediterranean areas, a significant proportion of the population living downstream depends on water resources from snowmelt and precipitation as their main source of water.

Quantifying uncertainties in projections of extremes—a perturbed land surface parameter experiment [PDF]

, 2018
Uncertainties in the climate response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentrations are quantified in a perturbed land surface parameter experiment. The ensemble of 108 members is constructed by systematically perturbing five poorly constrained land ...
