| Abstract | Snow estimation in the Rocky Mountains is crucial to water supply in the Western United States. Satellite-based snow observations from two distinct sensors are used in an assimilation framework to analyse their benefit for fine-scale snow state estimation. Eight years (2002–2010) of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–EOS (AMSR-E) snow water equivalent (SWE) retrievals and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover fraction (SCF) observations are assimilated separately or jointly into the Noah land surface model over a domain in Northern Colorado. The results are validated against in situ observations at 14 high-elevation Snowpack Telemetry (SNOTEL) sites with typically deep snow and at 4 lower-elevation Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) sites. |
