Since the 1960's, remote sensing instruments aboard Earth-orbiting satellites have provided scientists with snowfall data. As the technology of these instruments has changed, so have the methods of using remote sensing data to calculate snow cover, snow depth, and snow-water equivalent. Spectral characteristics of snow are highly variable based on a number of factors, including grain size, depth, terrain, and age. Previous research has shown that an index can be generated using reflectance values from remote sensing data that makes classification of snow-covered land much easier.
