Southern Hemisphere long-term snow cover frequencies (1987-2003) derived from SSM/I-derived
SWE frequency of occurrence. Areas with "likely" snow are limited to the
Andes Mountains region and New Zealand. Frequency thresholds are a
function of month (20% for October through May, 7% for June through
September). These frequency maps are used for Southern Hemisphere
processing.
