Cover Story: This paper presents a fast and accurate approach for the determination of snow properties from the measurements of the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) onboard Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites (see also http://snow.geus.dk/, 22.12.2022). The algorithm targets the retrieval of snow optical properties, such as snow spectral and broadband albedo, and snow microstructure (snow specific surface area and effective ice grain size). Additionally, we propose a technique with which to retrieve the concentration of light-absorbing snow impurities. The retrievals are validated using ground measurements performed in Antarctica, Greenland, and the French Alps. Spaceborne observations make it possible to monitor Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets on a scale not accessible to ground-based networks. View this paper
