Abstract
This study is an attempt to look at intra seasonal and inter annual variations in temperature and in snow covers area (SCA) of the Upper Beas river basin (up to Pandoh dam) of the Western Himalaya. The SCA was assessed based on Normalized Differential Snow Index (NDSI) using representative images of MODIS Snow Cover Daily L3 Global) data for the period 2000-2010. Air temperature data from adjacent India Meteorological Department stations were used to examine the relationship between the snow cover and air temperature. It has been observed that the SCA showed large scale fluctuations both in time and space.
