Snow is an important land cover on the earth's surface. It is characterized by its changing nature. Monitoring snow cover extent plays a significant role in dynamic studies and prevention of snow-caused disasters in pastoral areas. Using NASA EOS Terra/MODIS snow cover products and in situ observation data during the four snow seasons from November 1 ...

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, 2011The 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.

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).

<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].

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.

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 ...

Snow is important for hydrological studies and is a variable very sensitive to climatic variations. In the present study, the variability of snow-covered areas SCAs obtained through Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS snow data products was analysed using the Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator in the Sutlej basin, Western ...

Abstract Monitoring the extent and pattern of snow cover in the dry, high altitude, Trans Himalayan region (THR) is significant to understand the local and regional impact of ongoing climate change and variability. The freely available Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover images, with 500 m spatial and daily temporal ...

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 ...
