How can i calculate fractional snow cover area from LANDSAT?

06 June 2016 1 2K Report

I have simulated fractional snow cover from a snow model. Now i want to validate the simulated result with snow cover from LANDSAT. How can i calculate fractional snow cover area from LANDSAt

Ralph Trancoso

Suggest linear spectral mixture model.

See below examples for fractional snow cover mapping:
