This map*in ArcGIS Online shows snow cover for the globe as it changes throughout the course of the year. *The patterns the map reveals is fascinating. *What is the effect of latitude on snow cover? *How does snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere compare to that in the Southern Hemisphere? *What is the effect of elevation on snow cover? *During a specific month, which of the world’s major cities had snow on the ground? *Measure the extent in square kilometers for each of the months for specific countries and graph your results.
This map features*NASA’s Next Generation Blue Marble imagery*in a set of 12 monthly composite images of the entire earth, using 500-meter-resolution imagery from the MODIS satellite. *More information is available than just the snow cover. *These monthly images reveal other seasonal changes on the land surface, such as the greening up and dying back of vegetation in the temperate regions such as North America and Europe, and the dry and wet seasons in the tropics. *The Blue Marble Next Generation imagery was produced by Reto St
