Cover Story: Alaska’s Yukon River is a prominent feature of the Arctic–Boreal landscape—providing transportation and ecosystem services to many communities. We present a first analysis of satellite-derived snow properties and their interaction with hydrologic processes along the Yukon River, including the spring flood pulse and river ice break up (RIB) timing. A suite of passive microwave satellite-derived snow metrics, including Main Melt Onset Date, Snowoff Date, and Snowmelt Duration from 1988 to 2016, are presented and validated using in situ observations and complementary satellite data. We found meaningful correspondence between areal quantiles of the satellite snow metrics and measured streamflow quantiles and RIB observations, demonstrating the snow metrics’ potential for the monitoring and forecasting of hydrologic events along the Yukon River.
