We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Snow Water Equivalent Data Access and Tools
From discovery to visualization, data tools such as Earthdata Search, HYDrologic Remote Sensing Analysis for Floods (HYDRAFloods), and Panoply guide users in making the most of snow water equivalent (SWE) data.
