The repeated and systematic Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) imaging by the European Space Agency\u2019s Sentinel-1 spaceborne RADARs allows for all-weather, all-illumination condition monitoring of the snow-covered fraction of the glacier and hence assessing its water production potential. A comparison of the RADAR reflectivity with optical and multispectral imaging highlights the difference between the observed quantities\u2014water content in the former, albedo in the latter\u2014and the complementarity for understanding the snow melt processes. This work highlights the temporal inertia between the visible spring melting of the snowpack and the snow metamorphism. It was found that the snowpack exhibits that approximately 30 days before it starts to fade.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15071858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]],"date-time":"2023-03-31T01:37:02Z","timestamp":1680226622000},"page":"1858","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Ground-Based Oblique-View Photogrammetry and Sentinel-1 Spaceborne RADAR Reflectivity Snow Melt Processes Assessment on an Arctic Glacier"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4888-7133","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Michel","family":"Friedt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FEMTO-ST, Time & Frequency, 15 Avenue de Montboucon, 25000 Besan\u00e7on, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2913-147X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c9ric","family":"Bernard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TheMA, 26 rue Megevand, 25000 Besan\u00e7on, France"}]},{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Griselin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TheMA, 26 rue Megevand, 25000 Besan\u00e7on, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1016\/j.advwatres.2012.12.009","article-title":"Response of snow cover and runoff to climate change in high Alpine catchments of Eastern Switzerland","volume":"55","author":"Bavay","year":"2013","journal-title":"Adv.
