Effect of Different Snow Depth and Area on the Snow Cover Retrieval Using Remote Sensing Data
For the needs of snow cover monitoring using multi-source remote sensing data, in the present article, based on the spectrum analysis of different depth and area of snow, the effect of snow depth on the results of snow cover retrieval using normalized difference snow index (NDSI) is discussed. Meanwhile, taking the HJ-1B and MODIS remote sensing data as an example, the snow area effect on the snow cover monitoring is also studied. The results show that: the difference of snow depth does not contribute to the retrieval results, while the snow area affects the results of retrieval to some extents because of the constraints of spatial resolution.
