Such information is vital for water supply management and regulation by national stakeholders. Recent advances in remote sensing have made it possible to reliably estimate and quantify the spatial and temporal variability of snow cover at different scales. However, because of technological constraints, there is a compromise between the temporal, spectral, and spatial resolutions of available satellites. In addition, atmospheric conditions and cloud contamination may increase the number of missing satellite observations. Therefore, data from a single satellite is insufficient to accurately capture snow dynamics, especially in semi-arid areas where snowfall is extremely variable in both time and space. Considering these limitations, the combined use of the next generation of multispectral sensor data from the Landsat-8 (L8) and Sentinel-2 (S2), with a spatial resolution ranging from 10 to 30 m, provides unprecedented opportunities to enhance snow cover mapping. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the combined use of optical sensors through image fusion techniques for capturing snow dynamics and producing detailed and dense normalized difference snow index (NDSI) time series within a semi-arid context. Three different models include the enhanced spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (ESTARFM), the flexible spatio-temporal data fusion model (FSDAF), and the pre-classification flexible spatio-temporal data fusion model (pre-classification FSDAF) were tested and compared to merge L8 and S2 data. The results showed that the pre-classification FSDAF model generates the most accurate precise fused NDSI images and retains spatial detail compared to the other models, with the root mean square error (RMSE = 0.12) and the correlation coefficient (R = 0.96). Our results reveal that, the pre-classification FSDAF model provides a high-resolution merged snow time series and can compensate the lack of ground-based snow cover data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14225814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T04:08:40Z","timestamp":1668744520000},"page":"5814","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["High-Resolution Monitoring of the Snow Cover on the Moroccan Atlas through the Spatio-Temporal Fusion of Landsat and Sentinel-2 Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4898-4921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mostafa","family":"Bousbaa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Remote Sensing Applications, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Abdelaziz","family":"Htitiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Data4Earth Laboratory, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Beni Mellal 23000, Morocco"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4033-9717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelghani","family":"Boudhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Remote Sensing Applications, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"},{"name":"Data4Earth Laboratory, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Beni Mellal 23000, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Youssra","family":"Eljabiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Data4Earth Laboratory, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Beni Mellal 23000, Morocco"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6496-7200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haytam","family":"Elyoussfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Remote Sensing Applications, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Hafsa","family":"Bouamri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Data4Earth Laboratory, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Beni Mellal 23000, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Hamza","family":"Ouatiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Remote Sensing Applications, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0270-1690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelghani","family":"Chehbouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Remote Sensing Applications, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"},{"name":"International Water Research Institute, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Ben Guerir 43150, Morocco"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114016","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-9326\/10\/11\/114016","article-title":"The Potential for Snow to Supply Human Water Demand in the Present and Future","volume":"10","author":"Mankin","year":"2015","journal-title":"Environ.
