## Abstract Spaceβborne passive microwave snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval algorithms are attractive for continuous SWE monitoring over large mountainous areas. The performance of three SWE retrieval algorithms, which were considered relevant for operational purposes, was examined for each mon
The snow water equivalent (SWE) for the Red River basin of North Dakota and Minnesota was retrieved from data acquired by passive microwave SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave Imager) sensors mounted on the US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, physiographic and atmospheric data
## Abstract Microwave remote sensing (RS) enables the direct determination of snow water equivalent (SWE), which is an important snow parameter for water resources management. The accuracy of remotely sensed SWE values has always been a concern. Previous studies evaluated global SWE monitoring. How
