Climatology 19: 1517-1534.This data set contains time series of monthly snow cover extent (SCE) for North America, Eurasia, and the Northern Hemisphere from 1915 to 1997, based on snow cover reconstruction and NOAA satellite data. In addition, the data set contains time series of annual variation in areally-averaged monthly snow depth and (SWE) for the North American grid domain used to derive the snow cover index.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://dx.doi.org/10.7265/N5V985Z6DocumentationGET DATAhttps://noaadata.apps.nsidc.org/NOAA/G02131/HTTPSCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92002-01-012025-10-07NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCLevel of ServiceStandardNSIDCFull Dataset CitationBrown, R.
