A snow-cover map** method accounting for forests (SnowFrac) is presented. SnowFrac
uses spectral unmixing and endmember constraints to estimate the snow-cover fraction of a …

Forest represents a challenging problem for snow-cover map** by optical satellite remote
sensing. To investigate reflectance variability and to improve the map** of snow in …

The Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) is an effective index for snow-cover map**
at large scales, but in forested regions the identification accuracy for snow using the NDSI is …

The bidirectional reflection distribution functions (BRDF) of snow have been measured at
high spectral resolution at various locations in Finland (Vuotso, Hyytia/spl uml/la/spl uml …

Spatially well-distributed information on the regional fraction of snow-covered area (SCA) is
important to snow hydrology during the melting season. One approach for regional SCA …

This paper presents a novel data fusion technique for improving the snow cover monitoring
for a mesoscale Alpine region, in particular in those areas where two information sources …

Snow cover products are primarily derived from the Moderate-resolution Imaging
Spectrometer (MODIS) and Advanced Very-High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) datasets …

Seasonal snow covers large parts of the northern hemisphere annually. It can change the
albedo of the surfaces from dark to bright overnight (and back), causing significant climate …

This chapter is dedicated to remote sensing of snow as one of the most important
cryospheric components to be considered in Northern Hydrology. After a short introduction …
