Abstract

Snow is one of the most important sources of water in most parts of the world, supplying approximately a third of the water needed for agricultural activities, drinking, and underground water sources. The runoff caused by melted snow can be destructive, and the high volume of snow can lead to an avalanche; therefore, it is important to estimate it. The area of the snow research is around Goose Lake in California, USA, where the ground snow measuring station is (Latitude: 41.92999, Longitude: −120.4168117). The snow can be measured and calculated using the daily satellite imagery of the Landsat for a period of five years (2017–2022) for approximately four months (December–March) (total of approximately 40 images). The information from ground snow measuring stations was used to evaluate the final results. The accuracy assessment shows 76% accuracy.
