A New Geostationary Satellite-Based Snow Cover Recognition Method for FY-4A AGRI

Snow cover is an important component of the cryosphere. Clouds have a large influence on optical remote sensing satellites when recognizing snow cover. Geostationary satellites, due to their high-frequency observations over coverage areas, can effectively compensate for the drawback of snow cover re...
