Validating improved-MODIS products from spectral mixture-Landsat snow cover maps in a mountain region in southern Spain
(International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2018)
Remote sensing is the only feasible data source for distributed modelling of snow in mountain regions
on medium to large scales, due to the limited access to these areas together with the lack of dense ground
monitoring ...
Extreme values of snow-related variables in Mediterranean regions: trends and long-term forecasting in Sierra Nevada (Spain)
(International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015)
Mountain areas in Mediterranean regions constitute key monitoring points for climate variability and
its impacts, but long time datasets are not always available due to the difficult access to high areas, relevant ...
Study of snow dynamics at subgrid scale in semiarid environments combining terrestrial photography and data assimilation techniques
(American Meteorology Society, 2015)
Snow cover simulation is a complex task in mountain regions because of its highly irregular distribution. GIS-based calculations of snowmelt–accumulation models must deal with nonnegligible scale effects below cell size, ...
Subgrid parameterization of snow distribution at a Mediterranean site using terrestrial photography
(EGU, 2017)
Subgrid variability introduces non-negligible scale
effects on the grid-based representation of snow. This heterogeneity
is even more evident in semiarid regions, where the
high variability of the climate produces various ...
Snow evolution in a semi-arid mountainous area combining snow modelling and Landsat spectral mixture analysis
(Copernicus, 2015)
This study proposes the use of both physically-distributed hydrological modelling in combination with satellite remote sensing images, to study the evolution of the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, in southern ...
Climate Trends Impact on the Snowfall Regime in Mediterranean Mountain Areas: Future Scenario Assessment in Sierra Nevada (Spain)
(MDPI, 2018)
Snow constitutes a key component of the water cycle, which is directly affected by changes
in climate. Mountainous regions, especially those located in semiarid environments, are highly
vulnerable to shifts from snowfall ...
Influence of microscale in snow distributed modelling in semiarid regions
(Universidad de Córdoba, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2015)
This work focuses on the importance of the microscale snow distribution in the modelling of the
snow dynamics in semiarid regions. Snow over these areas has particular features that further
complicate its measuring, ...
Quantifying Snow Cover Distribution in Semiarid Regions Combining Satellite and Terrestrial Imagery
(MDPI, 2017)
Mediterranean mountainous regions constitute a climate change hotspot where snow plays
a crucial role in water resources. The characteristic snow-patched distribution over these areas makes
spatial resolution the limiting ...
Comparison between Snow Albedo Obtained from Landsat TM, ETM+ Imagery and the SPOT VEGETATION Albedo Product in a Mediterranean Mountainous Site
(MDPI, 2016)
Albedo plays an important role in snow evolution modeling quantifying the amount of solar
radiation absorbed and reflected by the snowpack, especially in mid-latitude regions with semiarid
conditions. Satellite remote ...
Analysis of snow spatial and temporary variability through the study of terrestrial photography in the Trevelez river valley
(SPIE, 2014)
The spatiotemporal evolution of the snow cover may help to obtain conclusions on the variability of the atmospheric agents in high mountain areas. That evolution is difficult to analyze due to the heterogeneity of the snow ...
