A seasonal algorithm of the snow-covered area fraction for mountainous terrain

<p>The snow cover spatial variability in mountainous terrain changes considerably over the course of a snow season. In this context, fractional snow-covered area (fSCA) is an essential model parameter characterizing how much ground surface in a grid cell is currently covered by snow. We presen...
