Remote sensing of snow and ice / La télédétection de neige et de glace

Abstract: Monitoring of snow and ice on the Earth's surface will require increasing use of satellite remote sensing techniques. These techniques are evolving rapidly. Active and passive sensors operating in the visible, near infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave wavelengths are described in regard to general applications and in regard to specific USA or USSR satellites. Meteorological satellites (frequent images of relatively crude resolution) and Earth resources satellites such as Landsat (less frequent images of h… Show more

“…In this context, many researchers have attempted to use information provided by remote sensing, based on the extensive image archives available for the past 30 years, to create databases and glaciological inventories (GLIMS (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) program: Raup and others, 2000). Since the 1970s, attempts have been made to apply remote sensing to glaciological surveys (Meier, 1979). Østrem (1975) and Braithwaite (1984) presented the first snowline altitude measurements using remotely sensed data and compared them to glacier mass balances without attempting their reconstruction.…”

“…Several compilations of these techniques have been published in review papers and books (e.g. Meier, 1980;Rees, 2006). For snowline delineation, we advise the reader to consult the abovementioned references for an extensive description of the different methods corresponding to the potential of each satellite.…”
