Abstract

Over the years, research and applications of remote sensing in Canadian hydrology have embraced a variety of topics. In particular, research conducted over the last 5 years has emphasized the development of microwave remote sensing, both active and passive. This paper reviews recent (1999–2003) remote‐sensing contributions to hydrology in Canada. Topics include surface water and wetlands detection, soil moisture, snow cover extent and snow water equivalent estimates, freshwater ice, and glaciers, as well as distributed hydrological modelling. A very brief description of the theory underlying each application, as well as relevant sensors, is presented. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
