Snow Cover Mapping

Snow cover mapping is the process of detecting and tracking areas covered by snow on the Earth's surface. Using satellite imagery and remote sensing technology, scientists analyze visual and spectral data to identify snowy regions. This information helps monitor seasonal changes, water resource management, climate patterns, and environmental health. Snow cover maps are crucial for understanding how snow impacts ecosystems, agriculture, and hydrology, especially in regions dependent on snowmelt for freshwater supplies. Overall, it provides an important tool for tracking environmental changes and supporting informed decision-making.
