BOREAS RSS-08 SNOW MAPS DERIVED FROM LANDSAT TM IMAGERY
Get Data

Summary:

The BOREAS RSS-08 team utilized Landsat TM images to perform mapping of snow extent over the SSA. This data set consists of two Landsat TM images which were used to determine the snow-covered pixels over the BOREAS SSA on 18-Jan-1993 and on 06-Feb-1994.

Companion files include example thumbnail images that may be viewed using a convenient viewer utility.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/data/boreas/RSS/rss8snow/comp/RSS08_Snow_Maps.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
