Investigation of snow cover changes affected by climate change In North West of Iran
In this study in order to monitor snow cover, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) optical images were used, while for detection of snow covered areas, the snow index-NDSI, was applied. The results showed - according to the climatic conditions of the region- during the following months: December, January, February and March, most of the area is covered by snow and the max...
متن کاملThe thermal evaluation of snow line and identification of potential areas of snow falling in the Alborz Mountains with NOAA-AVHRR images
Abstract The extention of Snow cover and its spatial and temporal changes considered as a basic parameter in climatic and hydrologic studies. Data from satellite images due to the low cost and the large extention of cover are, effectively help the identifying of the snowy basins. Since the satellites are able to imaging a surface at different times, this will allow snow survey studies to inves...
متن کاملEvaluation of the performance of MERIS spectrometer data in snow cover monitoring in the boreal forest belt
This paper describes a work plan for the evaluation of the capabilities and performance of Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data for monitoring snow covered land surfaces, specifically in the boreal forest belt. The performance of MERIS over snow in the northern latitudes is mainly estimated by comparison of time series derived from MERIS surface reflectance against values derived...
متن کاملA Method for Snow-cover Mapping of Forests by Optical Remote Sensing
A snow-covered forest mapping method for optical remote sensing is proposed. The method is based on linear sub-pixel reflectance modelling of the surface components snow, individual tree species and bare ground. Experiments are performed using a 100% snow-covered Landsat TM scene and aerial photos covering spruce, pine and birch forest in the Jotunheimen mountain area of South Norway. The refle...
متن کاملتهیه نقشه رقومی آب معادل برف با استفاده از پارامترهای ژئومرفومتری و روش شبکه عصبی مصنوعی (مطالعه موردی: حوزه آبخیز سخوید)
Although a small portion of the Earth's surface is covered by the mountains, but it has a large impact on watershed hydrological perspective Because of the water crisis in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran, monitoring of the amount of snow in these areas is very important. Usually, access to the spatial distribution of snow water equivalent is limited to small scale using sampled data. However...
