Abstract: Under the background of global warming, the temporal and spatial characteristics of snowmelt flood disaster are changing greatly. This paper summarized the progress and development in snowmelt flood monitoring and early warning using remote sensing technology, and analyzed the challenges the scholars are facing in the application to practice. Secondly, the prediction effect of the existing snowmelt flood monitoring models and their issues need to be solved were summarized, as well as the opportunities and challenges in the future research and applications. Thirdly, the open issues of snowmelt flood monitoring models existing in the application to Xinjiang and Central Asia regions were analyzed. Finally, the research focuses and business development countermeasures were put forward so as to further improve snowmelt flood monitoring and warning service in Xinjiang and Central Asia.
