The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the snow cover data values for on-earth pixels. The units of measure for the snow cover value is percent. The Snow Cover product image is produced on the ABI fixed grid at 2 km resolution for Full Disk, CONUS and Mesoscale coverage regions from GOES East and West. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Existence of land; Clear sky; Geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees and solar zenith angles of 90 degrees. The ABI Fractional Snow Cover product will support a number of operational applications that include: assimilation into NOAA's NOHRC snow model, as well as hydrologic forecasts and warnings, including river and flood forecasts, water management, snowpack monitoring and analysis, and climate studies. onGoing Customer Engagement Branch DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce ncei.sat.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact continual https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C01522.jpg Example of the Snow Cover product (right figure) as generated by the GOES-R Snow Cover algorithm JPEG Earth Science > Climate Indicators > Cryospheric Indicators > Snow Cover theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

The Snow Cover product is generated by the GOES-R ABI Snow Cover ground processing algorithm. The algorithm relies on atmospherically-corrected surface reflectances derived as part of the determination of the surface albedo and does not use ABI Level 1b data inputs directly. The product is generated using spectral mixture analysis with a look-up table containing spectral reflectances of individual surfaces calculated from a radiative transfer model, and also a physical retrieval utilizing a spectral library lookup table to account for the dependency of reflectance on snow grain size, and local and solar zenith angles. The algorithm maintains an endmember memory file that contains two values per pixel indicating the endmember identifiers of the last modeled endmembers. Types of endmembers are land surface materials such as snow, vegetation, and rock, and are characterized using unique reflectance spectra based on modeled and field measurements. The endmemory memory file is re-initialized daily. processor GOES-R Algorithm Working Group DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/STAR > Center for Satellite Applications and Research, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce publisher https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goesr/ HTTPS Web Browser GOES-R Algorithm Working Group The GOES-R Algorithm Working Group creates the algorithms that process the quality controlled satellite instrument data and produces resulting data products. information NOAA Satellite Information System Product Quality https://www.noaasis.noaa.gov/GOES/PS_PVR2.html HTTPS Web Browser NOAA Satellite Information System Product Quality Peer/Stakeholder Product Validation Reviews by satellite and product. information GOES-R Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/STAR > Center for Satellite Applications and Research, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce publisher https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goesr/documentation_ATBDs.php Web Browser GOES-R Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents Descriptions of how the algorithms work, their underlying designs, and initial comparison with prior algorithms and results. information See Algorithm Citation The GOES-16 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached beta maturity. processor The GOES-16 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached provisional maturity. 2020-08-13T00:00:00 processor The GOES-16 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached full validation maturity. 2021-01-01T00:00:00 processor The GOES-17 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached beta maturity. processor The GOES-17 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached provisional maturity. 2020-08-13T00:00:00 processor The GOES-17 ABI Snow Cover algorithm reached full validation maturity. processor Level 1b radiances NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 1b Radiances 2017-06-01 publication Provisional doi:10.7289/V5BV7DSR DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce distributor https://doi.org/10.7289/V5BV7DSR HTTPS Web Browser NCEI landing page for ABI-L1B-RAD Source dataset landing page with general information and access links for the dataset. information 1 -156.2995 6.2995 -81.3282 81.3282 2017-02-28 repository NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235.
