Colorado Maximum Snow Extent, 17-23 May 2003

The following image was derived from the "Maximum Snow Extent" field of the MODIS/Terra Snow Cover 8-Day L3 Global 500m Grid data set, available from NSIDC.

Four input MOD10A2 tiles in HDF-EOS format were reprojected to a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 13 projection and converted to GeoTIFF format using the freeware HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF converter (HEG). ArcMap software was used to mosaic the four resulting GeoTIFF files, overlay county boundaries and cities, and create a map.
