Developing a Cloud-Reduced MODIS Surface Reflectance Product for Snow Cover Mapping in Mountainous Regions

Abstract: Cloud obscuration is a major problem for using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images in different applications. This issue poses serious difficulties in monitoring the snow cover in mountainous regions due to high cloudiness in such areas. To overcome this, different cloud removal methods have been developed in the past where most of them use MODIS snow cover products and spatiotemporal dependencies of snow to estimate the undercloud coverage. In this study, a new approach is adopted tha… Show more

“…Stronger more coherent events may occur when the PDO phase and ENSO phase coincide (Gershunov and Barnett, 1998). Similarly to the ONI, we define PDO events of 5 consecutive months with values greater than 0.5 • C as positive (warm) and below −0.5 • C as negative (cool) phases (Kiem et al, 2003).…”

“…Other studies have proposed methods of removing clouds from MODIS snow cover data. Spatiotemporal filtering that uses a temporal probability of snow and a DEM (Li et al, 2017), and a spatial k-means interpolation with dynamic time warping (Khoramian and Dariane, 2017) are some of the innovative methods being developed in the rapidly evolving field. Our focus was to find a method that easily detects SDON and SDOFF, and the LOWESS does that quickly, efficiently and accurately.…”
