Introduction to Some Research Work on Snow Remote Sensing
积雪遥感动态研究的现状及展望

Some methods and techniques of snow remote sensing were briefly discussed in this paper.The contents mainly involved with the characteristics of snow remotely sensed data as well as their possibilities and limits in snow monitoring and snow information extraction.The methods of calculating snowcover area,simulating snow depth and evaluating snow water equivalence were also introduced.Some applications of snow remote sensing in snowmelt runoff simulation and snow disaster monitoring were described.The prospect of snow remote sensing was discussed based on some new developing trends in this field.
