Correction to 'Determination of actual snow-covered area using Landsat TM and digital elevation model data in Glacier National Park, Montana'
Abstract In the article by Hall and others (1995), a topographic correction factor (C) was developed for estimating actual land area by taking into account the effect of sloping terrain. An error that was made during image processing resulted in values of C being exaggerated. For this note, values o...
