UA SWE - 800m - Daily¶
Example Snow Water Equivalent Map
Description¶
This data set provides daily 800 m snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth over the conterminous United States. It was created by assimilating in-situ snow measurements from the National Resources Conservation Service's SNOTEL network and the National Weather Service's COOP network with modeled, gridded temperature and precipitation data from the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM). Note: data for the current month are labeled 'early', data for 1-6 months in the past are labeled 'provisional', data that are > 6 months old are labeled 'stable'. The 'early' data are generated once in near-real time, the 'provisional' data are reprocessed twice per month to reflect the latest available observations, and the 'stable' data are processed once, and are used in the finalized dataset.
