occupied Palestinian territory: Snow Cover Extent Over West Bank, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria (as of 13 Jan 2015)

This map illustrates the extent of the snow cover caused by the storm "Huda" that moved through the Middle East region striking Lebanon, Jordan, and the West Bank from about 7-13 January. This analysis was based on satellite imagery collected by the MODIS sensor on the NASA AQUA satellite on 13 January 2015. As seen in the imagery the snow has covered a very extensive part of the Lebanon and Syria. A decrease in the snow cover extent is observed in certain areas in Southern Lebanon and Syria compared to previous UNOSAT analysis with imagery collected on 12 January. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.
