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 ...

Assimilation of snow cover and snow depth into a snow model to estimate snow water equivalent and snowmelt runoff in a Himalayan catchment [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Snow is an important component of water storage in the Himalayas. Previous snowmelt studies in the Himalayas have predominantly relied on remotely sensed snow cover. However, snow cover data provide no direct information on the actual amount of water

Spatial Distribution of Snow Cover in Tibet and Topographic Dependence
Atmosphere, 2023 Many major river systems in Asia, such as the Yangtze, Yarlung Zangbo, Indus, Ganges and Salween originate in the Tibetan mountains and snow cover in Tibet provides substantial water resources for these rivers, in addition to its weather-related and ...
