A seasonal algorithm of the snow-covered area fraction for mountainous terrain [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The snow cover spatial variability in mountainous terrain changes considerably over the course of a snow season. In this context, fractional snow-covered area (fSCA) is an essential model parameter characterizing how much ground surface in a grid cell is

Fractional snow-covered area: Scale-independent peak of winter parameterization [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Abstract. The spatial distribution of snow in the mountains is significantly influenced through interactions of topography with wind, precipitation, shortwave and longwave radiation, and avalanches that may relocate the accumulated snow. One of the most crucial model parameters for various applications such as weather forecasts, climate predictions and
