The foliage Clumping Index (CI) is an important vegetation structure parameter that allows
for the accurate separation of sunlit and shaded leaves in a canopy. The CI and its
seasonality are critical for global Leaf Area Index (LAI) estimating and ecological modelling.
However, the cover of snow tends to reduce the reflectance anisotropy of the vegetation
canopy and thus probably influences CI estimates. In this paper, we investigate the influence
