ArcticRIMS: Snow Water Equivalent
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.252

Summary
This data includes daily Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) values for July 1999 to
June 2001, representing the most complete possible "picture" of SWE for the
Arctic basin, derived from available Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I)
data during this period. Data were filtered with snow climatologies derived
from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weekly snow charts
from 1996 to 2001 (the most complete record available), and are masked for
pixels in the recently updated Arctic drainage basin that Rapid Integrated
Monitoring System (RIMS) has released. The data is presented in 24
sub-datasets of different spatial and temporal aggregations.
