Commentary on comparison of MODIS snow cover and albedo products with ground observations over the mountainous terrain of Turkey [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2007 The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover product was evaluated by Parajka and Blösch (2006) over the territory of Austria. The spatial and temporal variability of the MODIS snow product classes are analyzed, the accuracy of ...

An Assessment of Existing Methodologies to Retrieve Snow Cover Fraction from MODIS Data
Remote Sensing, 2018 The characterization of snow extent is critical for a wide range of applications. Since 1966, snow maps at different spatial resolutions have been produced using various satellite sensor images.

Snow Cover Mapping Based on SNPP-VIIRS Day/Night Band: A Case Study in Xinjiang, China
Remote Sensing, 2023 Detailed snow cover maps are essential for estimating the earth’s energy balance and hydrological cycle. Mapping the snow cover across spatially extensive and topographically complex areas with less or no cloud obscuration is challenging, but the SNPP ...

Application of MODIS land surface temperature in snow climatology studies, Case Study: Central Alborz Basins [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Structures, 2023 The snow budget in mountainous river basins reacts sensitively to temperature fluctuations. Therefore, the desired temperature increase due to climate change could significantly affect the snow budget in the future.

An improved Terra–Aqua MODIS snow cover and Randolph Glacier Inventory 6.0 combined product (MOYDGL06*) for high-mountain Asia between 2002 and 2018 [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2020 Snow is a significant component of the ecosystem and water resources in high-mountain Asia (HMA). Therefore, accurate, continuous, and long-term snow monitoring is indispensable for the water resources management and economic development.
