## Abstract The magnitude and spatial distribution of snow on sea ice are both integral components of the oceanβseaβiceβatmosphere system. Although there exists a number of algorithms to estimate the snow water equivalent (SWE) on terrestrial surfaces, to date there is no precise method to estimate
The Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) radiometer is a useful tool for monitoring snow wetness on a large scale because water content has a significant effect on the microwave emissions at the snowpack surface. To date, SSM/I snow wetness algorithms, based on statistical regression analysis, ha
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 Snow accumulation and ablation rule the temporal dynamics of water availability in mountain areas and cold regions. In these environments, the evaluation of the snow water amount is a key issue. The spatial distribution of snow water equivalent (SWE) over a mountain basin at the end of
