Quantification of the surface area of snow covering watersheds can be a useful parameter in estimating snow water content for inclusion in water runoff prediction equations. An operational manual interpretation technique is described, which allows fast and accurate estimates to be made of the areal extent of snow parameter using LANDSAT-1 imagery. The analysis procedures and the statistical results are presented.
