An overview of the applications systems verification test on snowcover mappingThe capability of the LANDSAT and NOAA satellites to accurately measure snowcovered area on various size watersheds was demonstrated. Recent research has shown a highly significant statistical relationship between satellite-derived snowcovered area at the beginning of the snowmelt period and seasonal runoff. The decision was made to test the results of several satellite snowcovered area studies in an Applications Systems Verification Test (ASVT) Program where quasi-operational evaluations of total technical capability are performed. The objective of these ASVT's is to provide all the information necessary for a potential user to make effective decisions concerning the implementation of the new remote sensing technology in an operational applications system.
