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 …

Water is one of the most critical natural resources that maintain the ecosystem and support
people's daily life. Pressures on water resources and disaster management are rising …

Accurate understanding the spatiotemporal variability of snow cover and snow phenology
over High Mountain Asia (HMA) is of great interest because of their vital impacts on the …

Climate change is rapidly altering snow cover conditions in seasonal snow-covered regions
of the Tibetan Plateau. This study presents a systematic analysis of the changes in snow …

Alpine vegetation plays a crucial role in global carbon cycle. Snow cover is an essential
component of alpine land cover and shows high sensitivity to climate change. The Tibetan …

The utility of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow-cover
products is limited by cloud cover which causes gaps in the daily snow-cover map products …

The change in snow cover under climate change is poorly understood in Tianshan
Mountains. Here, we investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics and trends of snow …

Abstract Snowmelt from the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the water source of many major Asian
rivers, with significant importance for regional water supply and ecosystem services. The …

The snow cover products of optical remote sensing systems play an important role in
research into global climate change, the hydrological cycle, and the energy balance …

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) snow cover products, of daily,
freely available, worldwide spatial extent at medium spatial resolution, have been widely …
