Abstract: Interpolation of point measurements of meteorological variables in relatively big areas (eg. medium and big catchments) does not reflect their real distribution. The study area is the upper Biebrza River catchment, meteorological data were recorded in a Rogorzynek station. This paper analyses possibilities of usage of a satellite data (MOD10A2, a spatial distribution of a snow cover) as a parameter in a hydrological model, which uses a daydegree method for a snowmelt estimation. The analysis shown a high correlation (0.68) between presence of a snow cover in a land surface station and in satellite data. Moreover, a strong linear relationship (correlation of 0.70) was found between a snow pack depth in the land surface station and an area of snow cover in the catchment estimated from satellite data. A method of use a MOD10A2 data in a hydrological model was proposed.
