Snow is an important component of the hydrological cycle. As a major part of the cryosphere,
snow cover also represents a valuable terrestrial water resource. In the context of climate …

The snow cover is a key component of land surface hydrology, especially in mountain areas
where it governs the amount and timing of water availability in downstream areas. It is …

A considerable number of river basins around the world lack sufficient ground observations
of hydro-meteorological data for effective water resources assessment and management …

The new MODIS daily NDSI snow cover product version 6 (V6) is released to replace V5
with significant revisions. This study evaluates, for the first time, the accuracy of product V6 …

A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and
historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled …

Satellite Earth observations (EO) are an accurate and reliable data source for atmospheric
and environmental science. Their increasing spatial and temporal resolution, as well as the …

Although passive microwave remote sensing has been widely used for snow depth (SD)
retrieval, its coarse spatial resolution has led to large uncertainties in various applications …

This work introduces a general multi-objective parameter estimation framework to exploit
MODIS-based snow cover maps to reduce predictive streamflow uncertainty in snow …

The characteristics of an aboveground cosmic‐ray neutron sensor (CRNS) are evaluated for
monitoring a mountain snowpack in the Austrian Alps from March 2014 to June 2016 …

Accurate knowledge of the seasonal snow distribution is vital in several domains including
ecology, water resources management, and tourism. Current spaceborne sensors provide a …
