 Title:
 SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT (Serreze, Barrett)
 
 Description:
 This data includes daily Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) values for July 1999 to June 2001,
 representing the most complete possible "picture" of SWE for the Arctic
 basin, derived from available SSM/I data during this period.  Data were
 filtered with snow climatologies derived from NOAA weekly snow charts from
 1996 to 2001 (the most complete record available), and are masked for
 pixels in the recently updated Arctic drainage basin that RIMS has
 released.
