Description
Summary:This dataset contains v2.0 of the Daily Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) product from the European Space Administration (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Snow project, at 0.1 degree resolution. Snow water equivalent (SWE) indicates the amount of accumulated snow on land surfaces, in other words the amount of water contained within the snowpack. The SWE product time series covers the period from 1979/01 to 2020/05. Northern Hemisphere SWE products are available at daily temporal resolution with alpine areas masked. The dataset is aimed to serve the needs of users working on climate research and monitoring activities, including the detection of variability and trends, climate modeling, and aspects of hydrology and meteorology. The Finnish Meteorological Institute is responsible for the SWE product development and generation. This version 2 dataset has some notable differences compared to the v1 data. In v2, passive microwave radiometer data are obtained from the recalibrated enhanced resolution CETB ESDR ...
