[pct-l] Satellite images show extensive snow along the Pacific Crest Trail this May

[James Vesely]

Thanks, Paint.

This program is interesting but the has no data for 2017

NASA/JPL has created the Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO), a coupled imaging
spectrometer and scanning lidar system. ASO uses the imaging spectrometer
to quantify spectral albedo, broadband albedo, and radiative forcing by
dust and black carbon in snow. The scanning lidar is used to determine snow
depth against snow-free acquisitions and quantifies snow water equivalent
when combined with in-situ constrained modeling of snow density.

The site shows 2016 as the latest imagery.
