The Examination of Hemispherical Photography as a means of obtaining In Situ Remotely Sensed Sky Gap Estimates in Snow-Covered Coniferous Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-01)In remote sensing, the application determines the type of platform and scale used during air or space –borne data collection as the pixel size of the collected data varies depending on the sensor or platform used. ... -
Observations of Moderate to Deep Seasonal Snow in Agricultural Fields with a Radar Scatterometer at Ku- and X-band Frequencies
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-26)The water contained within a snowpack, or the snow water equivalent (SWE), is very important to the hydrological cycle and to populations who depend on it for drinking, agriculture and industry. Measuring SWE over large ... -
Snow Properties Retrieval Using Passive Microwave Observations
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Seasonal snow cover, the second-largest component of the cryosphere, is crucial in controlling the climate system, through its important role in modifying Earth’s albedo. The temporal variability of snow extent and its ... -
Validating CloudSat-CPR retrievals for the estimation of snow accumulation in the Canadian Arctic
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-31)Snow is a critical contributor to our global water and energy budget, with profound impacts for water resource availability, snow albedo feedback and flooding in cold regions. The vast size and remote nature of the Arctic ...
