Snow persistence data were processed into snow zones from Terra MODIS 500m resolution data from 2001-2020. 2021 30m resolution rangeland biomass data from the RPMS website. RPMS data (brown and black) are derived from Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+, 8 OLI, and 9 OLI-2. The image displays snow persistence zones, with intermittent, transitional, and persistent snow zones in orange, light blue, and dark blue respectively. The image includes parts of the Sawatch and Elk Mountains.

The data for this image comes from NASA satellite Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Cropland Data Layers were used to create the image. The black, brown, and bright green specks represent the different crops growing near Wheeler Lake Watershed in North Alabama. NDVI and cropland data can be used to predict and evaluate the effects of flash drought on agricultural crops.
