1. Introduction Snow-cover ablation plays a key role in the hydrologic cycle in many regions across the globe, contributing to soil moisture availability, streamflow, and groundwater supplies ( Barnett et al. 2005 ). The lack of consistency in the volume and/or timing of snowmelt events associated with ephemeral snow cover can, however, lead to harmful societal and environmental consequences. The variable release of water from the snowpack may result in snowmelt-induced flooding, pollutant or

Introduction Snow cover is among the most important of the earth’s surface characteristics that influence surface radiation, energy, and hydrologic budgets. It is one of the key factors to consider in the atmospheric circulation, runoff modeling, numerical weather forecasting, and climate change studies. Because the information on snow cover is needed for various weather and climate applications, the accurate monitoring of this component of the earth’s surface is an important and pressing issue
