Third Earth Resources Technology Satellite-1 Symposium. Volume 1: Technical presentations, section BIn much of the western United States a large part of the utilized water comes from accumulated mountain snow-packs; thus, accurate measurements of snow distributions are required for input to streamflow prediction models. The application of ERTS imagery for mapping snow has been evaluated for two geographic areas, the Salt-Verde Watershed in central Arizona and the southern Sierra Nevada in California. Techniques have been developed to identify snow and to differentiate between snow and
cloud. The snow extent for these two drainage areas has been mapped from the MSS-5 (0.6-0.7 pm) imagery and compared with aerial survey snow charts, aircraft photography, and ground-based snow measurements.
