Each image represents an 8-day composite for the periods November 1?7, 8?18, and 16?23, 2001. The light gray pixels show areas that were covered by clouds for the entire 8-day period. The green pixels are land regions without snow, blue pixels represent water, and dark gray shows where no data were collected. Full press release & large images.
