Summary
[edit]DescriptionSnow in Sierra Nevada (California) in October 2021 (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 28 October 2021, shows snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Between 24 and 25 October a major storm hit California. Many floods were recorded across the state, and San Francisco recorded its fourth wettest day since records started. Large amounts of snow covered the Sierra Nevada mountains, as evidenced by this image, but despite the new influx of water there has been no significant improvement as far as the historic drought affecting the area is concerned. The Global Component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service updates its Water Bodies product every ten days. The total area of water bodies is identified as an essential climate variable (ECV) and is vital for monitoring the effects of climate change around the world. |
