Abstract
This article reports recent progress in monitoring snow area and snow depth over the U.K. using NOAA AVHRR data. A series of transportable programmes have been developed and updated for data calibration and navigation. The establishment of a database registered to the British National Grid enables the generation of subsequent thematic overlays for any selected area. Results of snow area mapping and estimation have been validated by means of high-resolution Landsal TM data and data from U.K. Meteorological Office Snow Survey Reports. Assignment of snow depth values has also been attempted. The integration of remote sensing and GIS has facilitated the work, and will be further deployed.
