This study aims to define snow precipitation and snow cover features over Western Italian Alps during the decade 2000-2009. A new approach integrating ground meteorological stations and satellite information is used. Daily measurements performed in Piedmont by the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (ARPA) network together with the MODerate resolution Imager Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 8-day snow cover product allow to have a general overview on both snow abundance and snow cover extension during the last decade.

Abstract

This study aims to define snow precipitation and snow cover features over Western Italian Alps during the decade 2000-2009. A new approach integrating ground meteorological stations and satellite information is used. Daily measurements performed in Piedmont by the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (ARPA) network together with the MODerate resolution Imager Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 8-day snow cover product allow to have a general overview on both snow abundance and snow cover extension during the last decade.
