A single application for estimating snow water equivalent from a
RADARSAT image (continued)
|
Designed for:
- hydroelectric generation utilities;
- meteorological services;
- water resource managers.
Suited to:
- very wide territories;
- low and moderate relief terrain;
- northern lands;
- dry snow conditions.
Inputs:
- RADARSAT reference images (Standard, Wide, ScanSar);
- RADARSAT seasonal images (Standard, Wide, ScanSar);
- a soil covering classification;
- average snow density;
- additional mapping data.
Results:
- unlimited choice of SWE class;
- SWE estimates at various resolutions;
- SWE estimates for each geographical area;
- MapInfo files;
- ASCII files.
A complete application:
- georeferenced, graphic index of inputs;
- selection of calculation parameters;
- optimization of SWE calculation algorithms;
- grid integration of calculated SWE values;
- integration of results by geographical area;
- meta data recording and archiving;
- on-screen display of SWE images;
- automatic legend production and display;
- histogram calculation and display;
- creation of SWE map collages and assemblies;
- file conversion and exporting.
