Summary
[edit]DescriptionHeavy snowfall causes deadly avalanches in the Alps.jpg |
English: Even though the beginning of this winter season had been characterised by a deficit in snow cover in the Alps, the area has seen heavy snowfall over the last weekend. The combination of heavy snowfall and strong winds caused several avalanches in Italy, Switzerland and Austria, where local authorities reported 11 casualties, including visitors from overseas. The rescue attempts were challenged by the extreme weather conditions, with searches being called off and postponed. This image, acquired by one of the Sentinel-3 satellites on 7 February, shows the Alpine mountain range covered with snow. The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service product portfolio includes Snow & Ice (HR-S&I) Monitoring products, which provide high-resolution (20 m x 20 m) information derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite data on snow and ice conditions in the 38 Members States and Cooperating Countries of the European Environment Agency. |
