Southern Hemisphere snow/ice cover

Snow in South America, Australia and New Zealand is derived from AVHRR NOAA-17 only over regions shown with light green color. Ice in Antarctica is mapped with SSM/I onboard DMSP F-13, -14 and -15.

The algorithm is fully automated. The product has been implemented operationally at NOAA OSDPD. Snow and ice maps are available since January 2005.
