## Abstract The Northern Great Plains is a region where variations in seasonal snow accumulation can have a dramatic affect on regional hydrology. In the past, one of the problems in studying snow hydrology has been obtaining information of sufficiently high temporal and spatial resolution on the w

## Abstract Snow covered area (SCA) observations from the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) were used in combination with a distributed snowmelt model to estimate snow water equivalent (SWE) in the headwaters of the Rio Grande basin (3,419 km^2^) โ a spatial scale that is an order of magnitud
The northern Great Plains of the US is a region that experiences extensive winter snow covers. Meltwater provided by this snow is an important source of freshwater for agriculture, domestic uses and hydroelectric power. The geographic location of the region, however, makes it subject to a variety of
