The snow cover is a key component of land surface hydrology, especially in mountain areas
where it governs the amount and timing of water availability in downstream areas. It is …

Abstract Study region Atlas Mountains located in Morocco. Study focus Mountainous regions
constitute an area of water production, while water is used in downstream plains. In Central …

The Theia Snow collection routinely provides high-resolution maps of the snow-covered
area from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 observations. The collection covers selected areas …

Forest cover is a crucial factor that influences the performance of optical satellite-based
snow cover monitoring algorithms. However, evaluation of such algorithms in forested …

The interaction of mountain terrain with meteorological processes causes substantial
temporal and spatial variability in snow accumulation and ablation. Processes impacted by …

Sentinel-2 provides the opportunity to map the snow cover at unprecedented spatial and
temporal resolutions on a global scale. Here we calibrate and evaluate a simple empirical …

Accurate knowledge of the seasonal snow distribution is vital in several domains including
ecology, water resources management, and tourism. Current spaceborne sensors provide a …

Mapping seasonal snow cover dynamics provides essential information to predict snowmelt
during spring and early summer. Such information is vital for water supply management and …

The snowpack over the Mediterranean mountains constitutes a key water resource for the
downstream populations. However, its dynamics have not been studied in detail yet in many …

The Mediterranean region is characterized by intense rainfall events giving rise to
devastating floods. In Maghreb countries such as Morocco, there is a strong need for …
