Abstract
Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is a measure which describes the amount of snow. The authors have developed algorithm to estimate SWE assimilating spaceborne and ground based observations. The authors have also developed algorithm to detect the snow clearance date. In this work those algorithms are combined to produce a single snow product. Two series of figures are presented and the improvements discussed.
