Over the past 30 years, winter temperatures in northern Sweden have risen by 2 \u00b0C, accompanied by an increase in precipitation. This has led to a higher incidence of thaw\u2013freeze and rain-on-snow events. Snow properties, such as the snow depth and longevity, and the timing of snowmelt in spring significantly impact the alpine tundra vegetation. The emergent vegetation at the edge of the snow patches during spring and summer constitutes an essential nutrient supply for reindeer. We have used Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to determine the onset of the surface melt and the end of the snow cover in the core reindeer grazing area of the Laev\u00e1s S\u00e1mi reindeer-herding community in northern Sweden. Using SAR data from March to August during the period 2017 to 2021, the start of the surface melt is identified by detecting the season\u2019s backscatter minimum. The end of the snow cover is determined using a threshold approach. A comparison between the results of the analysis of the end of the snow cover from Sentinel-1 and in situ measurements, for the years 2017 to 2020, derived from an automatic weather station located in Laev\u00e1sv\u00e1ggi reveals a 2- to 10-day difference in the snow-free ground conditions, which indicates that the method can be used to investigate when the ground is free of snow. VH data are preferred to VV data due to the former\u2019s lower sensitivity to temporary wetting events. The outcomes from the season backscatter minimum demonstrate a distinct 25-day difference in the start of the runoff between the 5 investigated years. The backscatter minimum and threshold-based method used here serves as a valuable complement to global snowmelt monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16132329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,26]],"date-time":"2024-06-26T05:03:07Z","timestamp":1719378187000},"page":"2329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Synthetic Aperture Radar Monitoring of Snow in a Reindeer-Grazing Landscape"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ida","family":"Carlsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Gunhild","family":"Rosqvist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Bolin Centre, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Jenny Marika","family":"Wennbom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5813-850X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ian A.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Bolin Centre, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"IPCC (2023).
