Advances in Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice for Modelling the Runoff Process
Satellite monitoring of the seasonal snow cover in the visible range of the spectrum has been constantly improved thanks to a better spatial resolution. Sensors were introduced enabling snow, clouds and glacier ice to be distinguished. Thanks to refined data processing combined with a Geographic Information System (GIS), a method was developed to restore satellite images of the snow cover parti...
متن کاملMapping of Snow Cover and Glaciers with High Resolution Remote Sensing Data for Improved Runoff Modelling
The study presents investigations of the runoff from snow and ice, carried out in the high alpine basin of the Rhône river at Sion (3371 km2, 491 -4634 m a.s.l.). Using satellite remote sensing data, features like the snow coverage in the whole basin, the gradually decreasing snow coverage on glaciers and the area of exposed ice have been mapped. The periodical monitoring of the basin is based ...
متن کاملThe Changing Impact of Snow Conditions and Refreezing on the Mass Balance of an Idealized Svalbard Glacier
Glacier surface melt and runoff depend strongly on seasonal and perennial snow (firn) conditions. Not only does the presence of snow and firn directly affect melt rates by reflecting solar radiation, it may also act as a buffer against mass loss by storing melt water in refrozen or liquid form. In Svalbard, ongoing and projected amplified climate change with respect to the global mean change ha...
متن کاملDisappearance of the Glacier on Mama Cotacachi: Ethnoecological Research and Climate Change in the Ecuadorian Andes
– A first documented case study of a disappearing glacier in the snow capped volcano Cotacahi in Ecuador is presented with the studies belonging to the social sciences in relation to climate change and its impact on the population of the Equatorial Andes. With the use of multiple source methodology, including ethnographic analyzes, visual representations, repetitive photography, critical mappin...
متن کاملModelling Daily Runoff from Snow and Glacier Melt Using Remote Sensing Data
In this paper we present runoff simulations for snow and icemelt for the basins of Rhine-Felsberg, RhôneSion and Ticino-Bellinzona. We use high resolution multispectral remote sensing data to map snow and ice cover of selected years. Further, we use GIS based extrapolation techniques to evaluate cloud and forest covered areas with respect to snow cover. We use the deterministic hydrologic model...
