Fractional snow cover - Broggerdalen (PASSES)

Terrestrial Photography ApplicationS on Snow covEr in Svalbard (PASSES)

Evolution of the fractional snow cover in the Broggerdalen area using ground-based cameras located at the Climate Change Tower.

Development of a new snow product focused on the estimation of the fraction of snow cover in selected sites at different spatial resolutions.

All the available data obtained from public repositories such as the digital elevation model of Svalbard, the webcam imageries in Svalbard and satellite products from Landsat, Sentinel and MODIS missions, will be integrated in order to estimate the fraction of snow cover, at different spatial resolutions, for each satellite mission, computed at different sites in Svalbard islands.
