Purpose
The project name is ""Investigation of snowfall and related climate processes from a space-based instrument suite"". Seasonal snowfall is important to Canada's climate and water balance. Recent and rapid changes in the amount of falling snow and how long it stays on the ground have been observed. This project will combine observations from multiple sources of snow, and of the weather events during which snowfall occurs, to learn whether satellite instruments can be used to reliably detect and monitor snow and snowfall over Canada. This could improve weather and climate forecasts.
