comments

SWE: Water equivalent depth using snow from the snow-covered area of a grid box. The ECMWF Integrated Forecast System represents snow as a single additional layer over the uppermost soil level. The snow may cover all or part of the grid box. Snow depth: Instantaneous grib-box average of the snow thickness on the ground (excluding snow on canopy). It does not assimilate any observations so it does not contain the snow discontinuity present in ERA5. The output is interpolated to 0.10 deg lon/lat from the native model grid of 9 km.
