One possible solution would be to encourage data users to collaborate with data producers to ensure appropriate use of the data. You will be asked to provide a brief description of each data set as the basis for developing an archiving and documentation plan. Northern Hemisphere Volumes 1.0 and 2.0 Brightness Temperature CDS in February 1995. The final EASE-Grid format is based on user feedback received from the distribution of two prototype versions during 1993 and 1994. The cell size is 25.0 km for all channels and 12.5 km for 85 GHz.
Data are in flat binary files, one image per file, and data compression is applied.
The earliest operational stations began recording snow depth in 1881 and the data continue until 1985. Geographic distribution of stations is primarily in the mid-latitudes of Eurasia and corresponds to inhabited areas. Stations range from 35 to 75 degrees N latitude and from 20 to 180 degrees W longitude, and from -15 meters to 2,100 meters in altitude. The source of the data used is the State Hydrometeorological Service in Obninsk, Russia. Figure 1 shows Historical Soviet Daily Snow cover sites from 1881 to 1985.
