Assimilation of MODIS snow cover area data in a distributed hydrological model [PDF]
, 2011 Abstract. Snow is an important component of the water cycle and its estimation in hydrological models is of great importance concerning snow melting flood events simulations and forecasting. The LISFLOOD model is a spatially distributed hydrological model designed at the Joint Research Centre for large European river basins. It is used for a variety of

Forward-Looking Assimilation of MODIS-Derived Snow-Covered Area into a Land Surface Model [PDF]
Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2009 Abstract Snow cover over land has a significant impact on the surface radiation budget, turbulent energy fluxes to the atmosphere, and local hydrological fluxes. For this reason, inaccuracies in the representation of snow-covered area (SCA) within a land surface model (LSM) can lead to substantial errors in both offline and coupled ...

A MULTI-TEMPORAL APPROACH FOR DETECTING SNOW COVER AREA USING GEOSTATIONARY IMAGERY DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 In this study, we attempt to detect snow cover area using multi-temporal geostationary satellite imagery based on the difference of spectral and temporal characteristics between snow and clouds. The snow detection method is based on sequential processing

Evaluation of the snow‐covered area data product from MODIS
Hydrological Processes, 2002 AbstractThe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flown on board the Terra Earth Observing System (EOS) platform launched in December 1999, produces a snow‐covered area (SCA) product. This product is expected to be of better quality than SCA products based on operational satellites (notably GOES and AVHRR), due both to improved ...

ESTIMATION OF SUBPIXEL SNOW-COVERED AREA BY NONPARAMETRIC REGRESSION SPLINES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Measurement of the areal extent of snow cover with high accuracy plays an important role in hydrological and climate modeling. Remotely-sensed data acquired by earth-observing satellites offer great advantages for timely monitoring of snow cover. However,
