WebThis band provides the normalized difference snow index (NDSI) for snow cover on a scale of 0 to 100. It is recommended that users convert the NDSI Snow Cover to binary and … WebMar 26, 2024 · Very-high-resolution (VHR) optical imaging satellites can offer precise, accurate, and direct measurements of snow-covered areas (SCA) with sub-meter to meter-scale resolution in regions of complex land cover and terrain. We explore the potential of Maxar WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 in-track stereo images (WV) for land and snow …
TC - Estimating fractional snow cover from passive microwave …
WebBinary Snow Cover product only. The binary snow map is generated with reflectances and brightness temperatures observed in VIIRS bands I1, I2, I3 and I5. The algorithm to identify snow cover in VIIRS pixels closely follows the technique implemented for mapping snow cover with MODIS data. Snow cover is identified by WebBinary snow maps and fractional snow cover data are provided routinely from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). This paper investigates how the wide observation angles of MODIS influence the current snow mapping algorithm in forested areas. Theoretical modeling results indicate that large view zenith angles (VZA) can lead … inclusive forkortelse

WebThe current VIIRS snow product is binary, therefore to produce MODIS binary snow maps, the MODIS snow cover fraction threshold value of 30% was determined by examining snow cover area at four different thresholds (20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) and comparing them with the VIIRS binary snow map. Overall VIIRS appears to map more Webspurious snow cover in areas where the retrieved surface temperature exceeds 280 K [7, 21]. 4.now Cover Area - Results and Discussion S MODIS Binary snow product for 2000 to 2012 for Alaknanda basin were downloaded and processed. Trend analysis of Snow Cover (2000-2012) shows a slight declining trend (Fig.2).
