Retrieval of snow grain size and albedo of western Himalayan snow cover using satellite data

In the present study we describe the retrievals of snow grain size and spectral albedo (plane and spherical albedo) for western Himalayan snow cover using Hyperion sensor data. The asymptotic radiative transfer (ART) theory was explored for the snow retrievals. To make the methodology operational on...
