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 کاملSnow Cover
Snow cover is a layer of snow on the earth’s surface, which is mainly results from snowfalls. The snow cover can be temporary, when a snow melts during several hours or days after its formation, and it can be stable, when it remains for the whole winter or with short interruptions. The snow cover formation on the globe is determined (conditioned) by the geographical zonality, surface relief, an...
متن کاملSnow cover monitoring and snow density estimation using ALOS-PALSAR data
Snow cover mapping is a very important parameter for snowmelt runoff modeling and forecasting. Snow cover information is also useful for managing transportation and avalanche forecasting. This study will discuss the capability of full polarimetric L-band ALOS PALSAR data for snow classification. Therefore, Polarimetric decomposition and the complex Wishart classifier will be applied on ALOSPALS...
متن کاملSocial Behavior and Activity Patterns of Meadow Voles in Relation to Seasonal Change and Snow Cover
A c t i v i t y and s o c i a l behavior o f f ree-ranging meadow voles (M ic ro tus pennsylvanicus) were examined i n summer, f a l l and w i n t e r using capture-recapture and radiotelemetry. The composition o f our study populat ion changed from predominantly reproduc t i ve ly -ac t i ve (RA) voles i n summer and f a l l t o e n t i r e l y nonreproductively-active (NR) voles i n w in te r...
متن کاملEstimating Fractional Snow Cover in Mountain Environments with Fuzzy Classification
The disproportionate amount of water runoff from mountains to surrounding arid and semiarid lands has generated much research in snow water equivalent (SWE) modeling. A primary input in SWE models is snow covered area (SCA) which is generally obtained via satellite imagery. Mixed pixels in alpine snow studies complicate SCA measurements and can reduce accuracy. A simple method was developed to ...
