Oahe Basin SWE Comparison

Oahe Basin SWE Comparison: Survey SWE vs. SSM/I


The following sets of images and plots are comparisons for the dates when the Corps of Engineers performed snow surveys. For each date, the upper left subimage contains surveyed Army SWE data (converted from inches to mm) for the Oahe basin. Each subsequent subimage is one of the passive microwave algorithm outputs for the same date, masked for the basin area only. The red outline in the PM images is the outline of the Army data SWE extent. The plots contain scatter plots of the Army data vs. each algorithm output. Only SWE values are considered (i.e. "wet" snow flags and pixels with missing TBs are eliminated).
