Automated Webcam Monitoring of Fractional Snow Cover in Northern Boreal Conditions

Automated Webcam Monitoring of Fractional Snow Cover in Northern Boreal Conditions

Fractional snow cover (FSC) is an important parameter to estimate snow water equivalent (SWE) and surface albedo important to climatic and hydrological applications. The presence of forest creates challenges to retrieve FSC accurately from satellite data, as forest canopy can block the sensor’s view...
