Effects of climate change on vegetation and snow cover area in Gilgit Baltistan using MODIS data

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
The Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalaya (HKH) mountain ranges are the sources of Asia's most important river systems, which provide fresh water to 1.4 billion inhabitants in the region. Environmental and socioeconomic conditions are affected in many ways by climate change.

Calibration of a distributed snow model using MODIS snow covered area data

Journal of Hydrology, 2013
Summary Spatial ground-based observations of snow are often limited at the watershed-scale, therefore the snow modeling component of a hydrologic modeling system is often calibrated along with the rainfall–runoff model using watershed discharge observations. This practice works relatively well for lumped modeling applications when the accuracy of sub-

Retrieval of fractional snow covered area from MODIS data by multivariate adaptive regression splines

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018
Abstract In this paper, a novel approach to estimate fractional snow cover (FSC) from MODIS data in a complex and heterogeneous Alpine terrain is represented by using a state-of-the-art nonparametric spline regression method, namely, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS).

Validation of snow covered area based on snow product derived from MODIS and AMSR-E in the Heilongjiang Basin

2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010
Seasonal snow cover is a key factor highly affecting hydrological processes and climate in Heilongjiang Basin. Optical and microwave (both passive and active) remote sensing have its own advantages and disadvantage for monitoring snow covered areas. In this study, we present the preliminary validation results of snow covered area (SCA) from Advanced ...

Spatial distribution of satellite snow cover in typical area of Tianshan Mountains based on MODIS

2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2011
The spatial distribution of snow cover in typical area of Tianshan Mountains is studied based on snow cover frequency (SCF) acquired from snow cover products of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Terra spacecraft from 2000 to 2010.

How is snow cover in global mountain area changing? Detection of snow cover and snow phenology changes by using MODIS imagery over 2000 - 2018

2020
<p>Mountain areas have raised a lot of attention in the past years, as they are considered sentinel of climate changes. Quantification of snow cover changes and related phenology in global mountain areas can have multiple implications on water resources, ecosystem services, tourism, and energy production [1].

Extending the Utility of Modis Daily Snow-Cover Products through Snow-Cover Prediction of Cloud-Obscured Areas in Idaho's Big Lost River Basin (USA)

Journal of Map & Geography Libraries, 2008
ABSTRACT Increasing demand for water resources in the Western United States has given rise to many conflicts and has increased the need for more accurate and timely water management decisions. Snow-Covered Area (SCA) is an important hydrologic variable for both volumetric and daily stream flow forecasting.

Snow cover area analysis and its relation with climate variability in Chandra basin, Western Himalaya, during 2001–2017 using MODIS and ERA5 data

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020
Glaciers and snow cover area (SCA) plays an important role in river runoff in Himalayan region. There is a need to monitor SCA on spatio-temporal basis for better and efficient utilization of water resources. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides less cloudy data due to high temporal resolution as compared to other optical ...

Improvement of distributed snowmelt energy balance modeling with MODIS‐based NDSI‐derived fractional snow‐covered area data

Hydrological Processes, 2010
AbstractDescribing the spatial variability of heterogeneous snowpacks at a watershed or mountain‐front scale is important for improvements in large‐scale snowmelt modelling. Snowmelt depletion curves, which relate fractional decreases in snow‐covered area (SCA) against normalized decreases in snow water equivalent (SWE), are a common approach to scale ...
