Generation and sample applications of an integrated set of multispectral remotely sensed products for investigations of Lake Baikal's ice cover variability are described. Different ice cover classes and unfrozen water distributions are estimated from calibrated and navigated AVHRR 1.1-km imagery of Lake Baikal for January 1994 through May 1998. The processing strategy and characteristics of the products are reviewed. The utility of this type of multiparameter data set for modelling applications and process studies is discussed.
The generation and sample applications of a set of multispectral remotely sensed products for investigations of Lake Baikal's ice cover variability are described. During the period from mid-January to the end of April, the lake is completely covered with ice, and by analyzing satellite information it is possible to investigate in detail the distribution and dynamics of the main types of snow and ice cover. Different ice cover classes and unfrozen water distributions are estimated from calibrated and navigated NOAA AVHRR 1.1-km imagery of Lake Baikal for January 1994 through May 1999. The processing strategy and characteristics of the products are reviewed. The utility of this type of multiparameter dataset for modelling applications and process studies is discussed. ERS SAR and Resurs images are used for detailed representation of different ice classes distributions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
