Daily snow cover mapping is difficult when Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover products are cloud obscured. The daily cloud-free snow cover product provides an essential parameter for hydrological modeling, climate system studies, and snow-caused disaster monitoring on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). In this paper, we present an algorithm, Terra–Aqua–IMS (TAI), which combines...
Snow cover dynamics and snow melt are important hydrological process and water resource for some drainage basins. The variations of seasonal snow cover in the Nam Co basin of Tibetan Plateau from 2000 to 2010 are examined using MODIS data. A method of two thresholds of maximum cloud percentage (10%) and composite days (8) are used to remove cloud cover from MODIS daily snow cover products. Results...
The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on the NASA Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provides the Earth surface elevation with unprecedented accuracy. The lake level changes over the Tibetan Plateau are poorly known due to the remoteness, high altitude, thin atmosphere, and harsh weather conditions. The water level changes of two largest lakes (Nam Co and Selin Co) are studied...
