A Method to Monitor Heavy Snow-related Disasters in the Inner Mongolia Area

To overcome the data problems in the Inner Mongolia area, such as the sparse and non uniform geographic distribution of observation stations as well as the discontinuous data transmission, a simple monitoring system of heavy snow related disasters has developed based on a combination of routine station reported snow depth data with satellite derived snow coverage rate. This method has mainly taken account of the influences of the snow depth and the days with accumulated snow cover over the different types of grassland.
