      abstract = {Using MOD10A1, temperature and precipitation of 21  meteorological observatories and HJ-1/CCD data from July to  September during 2002—2013, this paper takes the Tianshan  Mountains as the study area to analyze the space  distribution characteristics of snow line and its  influencing factors. The results show that the snowline  distribution of southern and northern slopes of the  Tianshan Mountains is that it is high in the south and east  but low in north and west; the snowline of southern slope  is sparse and there is a small spatial gradient change; the  snow line is dense in the middle of northern slope, and the  spatial gradient change is not large. Through the analysis  of the whole study area, it is found that the correlation  coefficient between snow line altitude and temperature is  0.159, and the partial correlation coefficient between them  is -0.212; the correlation coefficient between snow line  altitude and precipitation is -0.668, and the partial  correlation coefficient between them is -0.676.  Precipitation is the dominant factor that affects the  distribution of snow line of southern and northern slopes  of the Tianshan Mountains.},
