Evaluation of the albedo parameterization of the Canadian Lake Ice Model and MODIS albedo products during the ice cover season
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-21)Snow and lake ice have very high albedos compared to other surfaces found in nature. Surface albedo is an important component of the surface energy budget especially when albedos are high since albedo governs how much ... -
Modelling lake ice cover under contemporary and future climate conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-26)Lakes comprise a large portion of the surface cover in northern North America, forming an important part of the cryosphere. Further alterations to the present day ice regime could result in major ecosystem changes, such ... -
Towards automated lake ice classification using dual polarization RADARSAT SAR imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)Lake ice, as one of the most important component of the cryosphere, is a valuable indicator of climate change and variability. The Laurentian Great Lakes are the world’s largest supply of freshwater and their ice cover has ...
