The Retrieval of Snow Grain Size from Space Using MERIS and AATSR Top-of-Atmosphere Spectral Reflectance Measurements
Abstract
A newly developed algorithm for the determination of snow grain size using spaceborne observations is described in detail. The algorithm was implemented in the BEAM satellite data processing software for MERIS and AATSR. The applied method includes a comprehensive cloud screening and ice/snow detection procedures.
