4. CONCLUSSIONS
We have following conclussions after this case study’s results:
• Snow and ice depth calculated by Backscattered
Coefficient and its helpful and easy to detect snow and ice
depth.
• This approach has to check ground truth data and to
compare with results thematic maps.
• To provide to users application of ALOS/PALSAR data
• Results of this research comparing to Mongolian climate
and weather change data, throughly compare to global
dataset.
• To extend research of study area especially data of winter
season and high snow fall season.
• To create database and metadata about glacier research and
case study, then share others researcher, projects and
organisers.
