In the New Zealand region, the algorithm currently masks out snow that were misinterpreted as clouds for the near-real-time (NRT) data. Historical data is less impacted. Data users should use the the Days Since Last Observation layer to mask these periods in their analysis as the data may not be updated for long periods of time. Our automated analysis may underestimate snow cover in the NRT product for these periods. Work continues to better separate clouds and mixed pixel snow cover which are spectrally similar.
