The importance of snow cover extent (SCE) has been proven to strongly link with various
natural phenomenon and human activities; consequently, monitoring snow cover is one the …

The use of satellite remote sensing for the map** of snow-cover characteristics has a long-
lasting history reaching back until the 1960s. Because snow cover plays an important role in …

The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

The first issue of WRR appeared eight years after the launch of Sputnik, but by WRR's 25th
anniversary, only seven papers that used remote sensing had appeared. Over the journal's …

In many practical applications snow depth is known, but snow water equivalent (SWE) is
needed as well. Measuring SWE takes∼ 20 times as long as measuring depth, which in part …

Climate change and climate variability, population growth, and land use change drive the
need for new hydrologic knowledge and understanding. In the mountainous West and other …

This paper reviews measurement techniques and corresponding devices used to determine
the physical properties of the seasonal snowpack from distances close to the ground …

Arctic snow presence, absence, properties, and water amount are key components of Earth's
changing climate system that incur far-reaching physical and biological ramifications …

A study is presented of the geographical distribution and spatial and temporal variabilities of
the western China snow cover in the past 47 yr between 1951 and 1997. The data used …

▪ Abstract Models of processes in the alpine snow cover fundamentally depend on the
spatial distribution of the surface energy balance over areas where topographic variability …
