Description

The spatial and temporal variation of the seasonal snowpack in mountain regions is recognized as a clear knowledge gap for climate, ecology and water resources applications. Here, we identify three salient topics where recent developments in snow remote sensing and data assimilation can lead to significant progress: snow water equivalent, high resolution snow-covered area and long term snow cover observations including snow albedo. These topics can be addressed in the near future with institutional support.

Translated Description (Arabic)

من المسلم به أن التباين المكاني والزماني للكتلة الثلجية الموسمية في المناطق الجبلية يمثل فجوة معرفية واضحة لتطبيقات المناخ والبيئة والموارد المائية. هنا، نحدد ثلاثة مواضيع بارزة حيث يمكن أن تؤدي التطورات الأخيرة في الاستشعار عن بعد للثلوج واستيعاب البيانات إلى تقدم كبير: مكافئ مياه الثلج، والمنطقة المغطاة بالثلوج عالية الدقة وملاحظات الغطاء الثلجي على المدى الطويل بما في ذلك بياض الثلج. يمكن معالجة هذه الموضوعات في المستقبل القريب بدعم مؤسسي.

Translated Description (French)

La variation spatiale et temporelle du manteau neigeux saisonnier dans les régions montagneuses est reconnue comme un manque de connaissances évident pour les applications du climat, de l'écologie et des ressources en eau. Ici, nous identifions trois sujets saillants où les développements récents de la télédétection de la neige et de l'assimilation des données peuvent conduire à des progrès significatifs : l'équivalent en eau de la neige, la zone enneigée à haute résolution et les observations à long terme de la couverture neigeuse, y compris l'albédo de la neige. Ces sujets peuvent être abordés dans un proche avenir avec un soutien institutionnel.

Translated Description (Spanish)

La variación espacial y temporal de la capa de nieve estacional en las regiones montañosas se reconoce como una clara brecha de conocimiento para las aplicaciones climáticas, ecológicas y de recursos hídricos. Aquí, identificamos tres temas destacados en los que los desarrollos recientes en la teledetección de nieve y la asimilación de datos pueden conducir a un progreso significativo: equivalente de agua de nieve, área cubierta de nieve de alta resolución y observaciones de la cubierta de nieve a largo plazo, incluido el albedo de nieve. Estos temas pueden abordarse en un futuro próximo con apoyo institucional.
