Fractional snow cover mapping from FY-2 VISSR imagery of China
Daily fractional snow cover (FSC) products derived from optical sensors onboard low Earth
orbit (LEO) satellites are often discontinuous, primarily due to prevalent cloud cover. To map
the daily cloud-reduced FSC over China, we utilized clear-sky multichannel observations
from the first-generation Chinese geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites (namely, the FY-2
series) by taking advantage of their high temporal resolution. The method proposed in this
study combines a newly developed binary snow cover detection algorithm designed for the …
