United States 11/26-28/02
Map of snow extent left in the wake of winter storms that swept across
parts of America's northern and southern plains from 26-28 November
2001. This snow map was created using a modified version of the MODIS
snow algorithm using MODIS direct broadcast data acquired by the Space
Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Wisconsin
as input.
No cloud masking is done is done in this version of the snow
algorithm. As a result, some areas that are cloud obscured are shown
as bare land. A false color image of MODIS bands 1,4,6 is shown for
comparison of snow and clouds. In this combination snow appears in
dark pink. Clouds appear in white and greenish and pinkish hues of
white.
