A special issue of Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere on "Remote Sensing of Environment" is currently in press and papers are now available online.
This special issue brings together a collection of papers highlighting recent science, algorithm development, and validation results on remote sensing of the Cryosphere.
The term Cryosphere is derived from the Greek word kryos, for cold, and it describes the portions of the Earth where water is in frozen form. These include sea-, lake- and river-ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets, and frozen ground. The Cryosphere strongly affects the global climate system influencing surface energy and moisture fluxes,
clouds, precipitation, hydrology, and atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
Abstracts and full text articles are available for the following papers:
