Monitoring snow-cover area change in Antarctic coastline region using MODIS product data
Based on MODIS snow products, this article studied the changes of snow cover area during 2003—2006 along the coastline of the Antarctic, and 18 typical regions were chosen for further analysis. The result showed that the change of snow cover area was in a fluctuant downward trend as a whole, and mor...
