Time Series of FSC maps of Sierra Nevada 1 May to 1 August 2010.

The FSC from C6 (left image) and from C5 (center image) is shown in shades of blue to white with other features in other colors. FSC pixels reversed to "no snow" in C5 by the surface temperature screen are shown in red in the right image. Reversal of FSC occurred at the edges of snow cover and made proportionally more of the snow 'disappear' as the snow line retreated during spring and summer. The inset image gives a higher image resolution of the effect at the snow line.
