Use of Environmental Satellite Data for Input to Energy Balance Snowmelt Models

摘要

This document describes the tasks completed during the tenure of the grant. Accomplishments include development of solar and longwave radiation models for alpine snow covered terrain, techniques for atmospheric correction of satellite radiometric data and for snow albedo determination from satellite, a very fast solution to the terrain horizon problem, investigations of the use of NOAA satellite data for snow surface temperature, mapping, and work on canopy cover measurements from satellite for use in solar and longwave radiation models.
