Analyzing Climate Change Indicators in the Himalayan Region from Satellite Observations

摘要

The remote sensing snow cover data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) satellite from 2000 to 2007 have been used to analyze some climate change indicators in the Himalayan region.In particular,the variability in the fractional snow coverage with elevations,its temporal variability (8-day,monthly and seasonal)and its
