Abstract:Abstract. Tracking the extent of seasonal snow on glaciers over time is critical for assessing glacier vulnerability and the response of glacierized watersheds to climate change. Existing snow cover products do not reliably distinguish seasonal snow from glacier ice and firn, preventing their use for glacier snow cover detection. Despite previous efforts to classify glacier surface facies on local scales, a unified approach for monitoring glacier snow cover on larger spatial scales remains elusive. We present … Show more
