Abstract: nder certain conditions, passive microwave satellite observations can be used to estimate snow water equivalent (SWE) across large areas, either through direct retrieval or data assimilation. However, the layered character ...

Abstract: Traditional approaches to the direct estimation of snow properties from passive microwave remote sensing have been plagued by limitations such as the tendency of estimates to saturate for moderately deep snowpacks and the ...

Abstract: Droughts can be characterized by their severity, frequency and duration, and areal extent. Depth?area?duration analysis, widely used to characterize precipitation extremes, provides a basis for the evaluation of drought ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountain systems can be biased, and few SWE observations have existed over large domains. New approaches for measuring SWE, like NASA?s ultra-high-resolution Airborne ...
