Abstract Snow volume and melt timing are major factors influencing the water cycle at northern high altitudes and latitudes, yet both are hard to quantify or monitor in remote mountainous regions. Twice‐daily special sensor microwave imager (SSM/I) passive microwave observations of seasonal snow mel...
