org.nsidc:g02158 NOHRSC 20040331 Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products at NSIDC Boulder, CO National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) http://nsidc.org/data/g02158.html This data set contains output from the NOAA National Weather Service's National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC) Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS), beginning 1 October 2003. SNODAS is a modelling and data assimilation system developed by the NOHRSC to provide the best possible estimates of snow cover and associated variables to support hydrologic modelling and analysis. The aim of SNODAS is to provide a physically consistent framework to integrate snow data from satellite and airborne platforms, and ground stations with model estimates of snow cover (Carroll et al. 2001). SNODAS includes procedures to ingest and downscale output from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models; a physically based, spatially-distributed energy- and mass-balance snow model; and procedures to assimilate satellite-derived, airborne and ground-based observations of snow covered area and snow water equivalent. The NOHRSC products available from NSIDC are gridded data sets for the continential United States at 1-km spatial resolution and 24-hour temporal resolution. SNODAS is run each day, with analysts deciding whether or not to use remote sensing and ground based observations to update the snow water equivalent state in the model. Generally, files are available from NSIDC within one day of production at NOHRSC. Data for 2005 through the current year are available via FTP; select Access Data. For data from previous years and subsetting options, please select Subset Data. NSIDC strongly encourages you to register as a user of this data product.
