| Abstract | Accurate and timely extraction of snow cover information is of great significance in the monitoring and assessment of snow disasters. However, remote sensing observations in snowing weathers were susceptible to the impacts of clouds and atmospheric water vapor, consequently snow parameters mapping from remote sensing data usually became difficult. This study presents an integrated approach for snow cover mapping by combining the two MODIS acquisitions and passive microwave sensor data collected in a day. For purposes of validation, the daily Terra and Aqua MODIS surface reflectance and AMSR-E brightness temperature data of January, 2010 were used in snow cover mapping and snow depth estimation in Xinjiang, China. Comparison between the results using the proposed approach and the observational data acquired in the metrological stations of Xinjiang indicates that the accuracy of the retrieval of snow parameters is 80.5%, and can combine the advantages of both optical and microwave remote sensors. Afterwards, the proposed approach was used to extract the snow covers and depth information in a typical heavy snow process in Xinjiang from Nov. 30 to Dec. 18, 2012. A simple assessment model was built based on the retrievals and used to evaluate the disaster situation. Field check in the north Xinjiang in January, 2013 showed that the results could be used in the early evaluation of the snow disaster management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
