Abstract: This study presents an intercomparison of three snow cover products derived from satellite data: the MODIS MOD10 standard product, a new MODIS snow cover product developed specifically for Alpine regions, and a snow cover mapping algorithm based on Landsat images, which was mainly used for validation. The snow cover maps were compared with snow data modelled by the hydrological model GEOtop, to show the potential of an assimilation of satellite data into the hydrological model. Such an assimilation could support a better characteristics of temporal evolution of snow water equivalent.
