Speaker: McKenzie Skiles (University of Utah)
This webinar will introduce the basics of snow remote sensing using the optical (solar) wavelengths, including an overview of different instruments/techniques (multispectral satellites, imaging spectroscopy, lidar, photogrammetry), and how they are used to map variables such as snow reflectance, snow covered area, and snow depth. The webinar will include a 'hands on' introduction to snow radiative transfer and controls on snow reflectance.
This material is based on a webinar series facilitated by CUAHSI with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement No. EAR-1849458.
