1 Snow from Space: Building a Vision Jeff Deems, Chris Derksen, Michael Durand, Jared En?n, Ed Kim, Dennis LeBenmaier, Glen Liston, Noah Molotch, Anne Nolin, Tom Painter, MaBhew Sturm, Simon Yueh and YOU!
2 Snow from Space: Building a Vision Mee?ng Purpose: To engage the community in building a vision for future snow remote sensing efforts in the U.S., including but not limited to, future NASA missions, to promote interna3onal collabora3on, and for capacity- building within our community. Our goal today is to inform and engage more partners (you) in crea?ng this vision, and to begin to develop a roadmap for achieving success.
3 Some Background Visible mapping of snow covered area (SCA) star?ng w/ TIROS satellites in the 1960s Microwave remote sensing of snow depth, snow water equivalent (SWE) in 1970s- 80s; simplis?c algorithms, opera?onal products but limited in accuracy Today: ground & airborne LiDAR, gamma sensors, and microwave radar & sounders have also been used to measure snow depth and snow water equivalent, Vis/NIR hyperspectral sensors provide grain size, albedo, light absorbing impuri?es
4 Evolu?on of the process Snow and Cold Land Processes (SCLP) mission concept was a radar + passive microwave mission selected in the 2007 NRC Decadal Survey for Earth Applica?ons from Space. Assigned to Tier 3 category, currently unfunded. Cold Regions Hydrology (CoReH 2 O) mission proposed to ESA with a down- select date of March Radar- only. Snow Remote Sensing Working Group developed out of the 2012 Chapman Conference on Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle snow breakout sessions. An?cipated next Decadal Survey process star?ng in ~2014 with Mission Concepts due in We seek to develop a community vision and prepare a mission concept that will result in a highly ranked snow mission
5 Cold Regions Hydrology High- resolu?on Observatory to observe snow and ice for a beber understanding of the water cycle Earth Explorer 7: Call for Ideas issue in Spring 2005 Phase 0 (pre-feasibility) from 2006 early 2009 Phase A (feasibility) from 2009 March 2013 (selection of one of the three mission concepts) Launch expected in 2019 BIOMASS P-band synthetic aperture radar mission CoReH2O X- & Ku-band synthetic aperture radar mission for snow on land, glacier and lake/sea ice PREMIER Sub-mm-wave and IR limb sounding mission
6 Science campaign support ac?vi?es Snow parameters from CoReH2O data Data assimila?on study Ac?ve- Passive Synergy study for snow Observa?on campaigns SnowScat (Finland) NoSREX 1 (2010) NoSREX 2 (2011) NoSREX 3 (2012) CASIX (2011) Airborne SnowSAR 2011 (NL and Finland) (Austria) (Canada) ESA UNCLASSIFIED For Official Use X/Ku-band SnowSAR SWE derived from SnowSAR data, Sodankylä, 03/2011 SnowScat during NoSREX campaign SWE from SnowSAR data vs. in situ point measurements (- 4.7 mm bias and 12.7 mm std)

Near- Term Funding Opportuni?es NASA Roses, February 2013 Earth Venture Missions, When??? AboVe (mainly ecological but s?ll has a lot of snow) Other??
9 What is important to measure? How will we measure these proper?es? Snow covered area Snow albedo Snow grain size Snow melt status Snow depth Snow under forest canopy Snow water equivalent Light absorbing impuri?es Demonstrated success with Vis & NIR, passive microwave but there are limita?ons. Radar, LiDAR & hyperspectral hold promise. Scale issues:?me & space Single or mul?ple sensors? Single or mul?ple plarorms (like GPM)?
