Improving the Informational Value of MODIS Fractional Snow Cover Area Using Fuzzy Logic Based Ensemble Smoother Data Assimilation Frameworks [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Remote sensing fractional snow cover area (fSCA) has been increasingly used to get an improved estimate of the spatiotemporal distribution of snow water equivalent (SWE) through reanalysis using different data assimilation (DA) schemes. Although the effective assimilation period of fSCA is well recognized in previous studies, little attention has been ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 In the Alpine environment, snow plays a key role in many processes involving ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and human wellbeing. Due to the inaccessibility of mountain areas and the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the snowpack, satellite spatio-temporal data without gaps offer a unique opportunity to monitor snow on a fine scale. In this

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Young people transitioning from out‐of‐home care, also known as care leavers, are globally recognised as a vulnerable group. There is a scarcity of literature on leaving care across the Global South, including Asia. The authors examined policies and practices from the grey literature to gain insights from broader literature beyond peer ...

Analysis of the consequences of climate change on the characteristics of middle Zagros snow cover using remote sensing data [PDF]
تحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیاییClimate change is a significant environmental concern due to the sensitivity of glacier melting processes and snow density to climate variations. Currently, a range of satellite sensors, including AVHRR, MODIS, GEOS, and MERIS, are employed for snow ...

Application of radar polarimetry techniques for retrieval snow and rain characteristics in remote sensing [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2013 The presence of snow cover has significant impacts on the both global and regional climate and water balance on earth. The accurate estimation of snow cover area can be used for forecasting runoff due to snow melt and output of hydroelectric power.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Estimating spatial distribution of daily snow depth with kriging methods: combination of MODIS snow cover area data and ground-based observations [PDF]
, 2015 Abstract. Accurately measuring the spatial distribution of the snow depth is difficult because stations are sparse, particularly in western China. In this study, we develop a novel scheme that produces a reasonable spatial distribution of the daily snow depth using kriging interpolation methods.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Intercomparison of Sentinel-2 and modelled snow cover maps in a high-elevation Alpine catchment
Journal of Hydrology X, 2022 Modelling runoff generation in high-elevation Alpine catchments requires detailed knowledge on the spatio-temporal distribution of snow storage. With Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI), it is possible to map snow cover with a high temporal and ...
