Passive microwave (SSM/I) satellite predictions of valley glacier hydrology, Matanuska Glacier, Alaska

We advance an approach to use satellite passive microwave observations to track valley glacier snowmelt and predict timing of spring snowmelt‐induced floods at the terminus. Using 37 V GHz brightness temperatures (Tb) from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), we monitor snowmelt onset when b...
