Thesis presents the retrievals of snow cover’s variables (snow albedo and snow coverage) from RS measurements the simulation of snowpack processes by a LSM using different snow albedo parameterizations; demonstrated the potential of reducing uncertainties in LSM simulations through assimilation of satellite-retrieved snow albedo; summarizes the research and discusses the challenges for future research.
