Jan 2, 2024 · Based on our previously published approach for snow reconstruction on S2 images using the Google Earth Engine (GEE), this study introduces two main innovations to reconstruct snow cover: (1) combining S2 and L8 images and choosing different CCS detection methods, and (2) improving the cloud shadow detection algorithm by considering land cover ...
3 days ago · Premier et al. showed that snow cover based reconstruction approaches could be expanded to full seasons with periodic snow accumulation and melt by identifying the dates with high-confidence accumulation, melt, or equilibrium (i.e., no change to SWE) based on in situ and remote sensing observations (Gagliano et al., 2023; Marin et al., 2020 ...
We present a methodology to reconstruct historical snow coverage using recently available remote sensing data and long-term point observations of snow depth from existing meteorological sta-tions. The methodology is mainly based on correlations be-tween station records and spatial snow-cover patterns.

Apr 1, 2023 · Snow cover in mountainous is reconstructed by combing the Fmask, Sen2Cor and the improved SNOWL algorithms. Snow is an important type of surface cover and an important freshwater resource in the arid regions of northwest China, and optical satellites are an important means for monitoring variation in snow cover.
Jun 1, 2021 · Snow is a crucial component of the cryosphere and its has been experiencing a significant decline for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) (35–90°N) snow cover extent (SCE) in March-April over the 1948–2012 period. However, the causes of this historical snow cover decline are still uncertain.
Mar 4, 2015 · Reconstructed snow cover was cross validated against independent remote sensing data and shows an accuracy of about 85 %. The methodology can be used in mountainous regions to overcome the...
