The NOHRSC measures snow water equivalent and soil moisture using gamma radiation remote sensing. This unique observing system includes two low-flying aircraft to conduct surveys in 31 states, including Alaska, as well as in 8 Canadian provinces. Four NOAA Corps officers pilot the aircraft and operate the remote sensing systems.

The map is showing the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) in inches of water, not snowfall...In terms of the amount of water held in the snowpack, snow depth alone is not a reliable indicator. That is why they use SWE.....
