IMS Snow and Ice Products

The Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS) is an operational software package used to demarcate the presence of snow and ice across the entire northern hemisphere. This software enables qualified analysts to access multiple sets of remotely sensed data in order to create and distribute 1 km resolution maps of snow and ice. The data is used for operational weather model initializations as well as other NOAA programs, and academic studies. The Digital Object Identifier for IMS information is 10.7265/N52R3PMC .
