Ever wonder what the water depth covering a certain area would be if the snowcover was in a liquid state? LANCE now has a dataset that shows exactly that. Snow water equivalent (SWE) imagery is now available in NASA Worldview from the NASA Land Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) processing element. LANCE AMSR2 is a component of the AMSR Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) at the GHRC DAAC. This NASA Worldview image shows snow in the Andes as seen from AMSR2 on August 25.
