Drought is a common hydrometeorological phenomenon and a pervasive global hazard. As
our climate changes, it is likely that drought events will become more intense and frequent …

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 …

Quantification of snow cover changes and related phenology in global mountain areas has
not been consistently addressed, despite the well-known importance of the snow in this …

A suite of Moderate‐Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow products at
various spatial and temporal resolutions from the Terra satellite has been available since …

Snow cover map** algorithms utilizing multispectral satellite data at various spatial
resolutions are available, each treating subpixel variation differently. Past evaluations of …

MODIS snow cover products are appealing for hydrological applications because of their
good accuracy and daily availability. Their main limitation, however, is cloud obscuration. In …

Water perhaps is the most valuable natural asset in the Middle East as it was a historical key
for settlement and survival in Mesopotamia,“the land between two rivers”. At present, the …

The seasonal snow in the Pyrenees is critical for hydropower production, crop irrigation and
tourism in France, Spain and Andorra. Complementary to in situ observations, satellite …

This study evaluates the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow
cover product over the territory of Austria. The aims are (a) to analyse the spatial and …

The objective of this study is to test the potential of snow cover data from the MODIS satellite
sensor for calibrating and validating a conceptual semi-distributed hydrological model. The …
