MODEL FOR CALCULATING SNOW COVER CHARACTERISTICS BASED ON ERS DATA

Abstract

The article presents a comparative assessment of the depth of snow cover in the North Kazakhstan Agricultural Experimental Station Limited Liability Partnership using three different approaches for calculating the proportion of snow cover with the subsequent determination of the water equivalent of snow on the one hand, and on the other - on the spot.From the point of view of the development of science and technology, the construction of an objective methodology and model for determining the zones of reserving melt and flood waters in the steppe natural zone will contribute to the improvement of agriculture through the use of remote sensing and GIS technologies.
