EVALUATION OF SNOW-COVER MAPS OVER NORTHEASTERN ASIA DERIVED FROM AVHRR, MODIS and MTSAT DATA
We investigated utilization of Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite, Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) data which is able to provide hourly image to a terrestrial monitoring. Firstly, SZA angular effect in reflectance channel was corrected, then algorithms for daily composite were compared. Hourly measurement of MTSAT increased the chance of observing cloud-free land surfa...
متن کاملEuropean Snow Cover Characteristics between 2000 and 2011 Derived from Improved MODIS Daily Snow Cover Products
Mean snow cover duration was derived for the entire continent of Europe based on the MODIS daily snow cover products MOD10A1 and MYD10A1 for the period from 2000 to 2011. Dates of snow cover start and snow cover melt were also estimated. Polar darkness north of ~62°N and extensive cloud coverage affected the daily snow cover, preventing a direct derivation of the desired parameters. Combining s...
متن کاملSnow cover variability across central Canada (1978–2002) derived from satellite passive microwave data
Twenty-four winter seasons (1978–2002) of mean February snow water equivalent (SWE) values were analyzed in an exploration of the spatial pattern of temporal variability in snow cover across the non-mountainous interior of Canada. The SWE data were derived from space-borne passive microwave brightness temperatures processed with a land coversensitive suite of algorithms. Spatial patterns in the...

متن کاملValidation of Satellite Snow Cover Maps
Satellite-derived snow maps from NASA’s Earth Observing System Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have been produced since February of 2000. The global maps are available daily at 500-m resolution, and at a climate-modeling grid (CMG) resolution of 1/20o (~5.6 km). We compared the 8-day composite CMG MODIS-derived global maps from November 1, 2001, through March 21, 2002, and...
