La télédétection de la neige dans les Andes comme outil de prévision des débits des rivières du Cuyo by Nicolas Delbart, Samuel Dunesme, Emilie Lavie, Malika Madelin, Régis Goma

“…In this study, we analyse the link between the seasonal and interannual variations in the discharge measured upstream of the first dams on four rivers (Mendoza, Tunuyán, Diamante, Atuel) of the Argentinian Cuyo region (in the Federal Province of Mendoza) and those of the snow bed extent as mapped by optical remote sensing (MODIS MOD10A2 product) on a weekly basis in the 2001-2014 period, at the scale of each watershed.For the four snow-glacier regime rivers, seasonal variations in the discharge appear directly related to those of the snow bed surface area in each watershed, as shown previously (Masiokas et al., 2006). We observed that the high-water period (September-April) discharge is directly related to the snow extent at the beginning of the snowmelt period, i.e. in September and October, as revealed by a correlation of about 0.8. …”
