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