Snow enhancement

This enhancement emphasizes the presence of snow.

Appearance

Treeless land (grassland, farmland, desert) is rendered tan, snow on treeless land is white, forests without snow are light green, forests with snow are dark green with a greyish white "frosty" tinge, water is grayish blue with warmer water tending toward purple and ice cover showing up as white, low clouds are yellow, and higher clouds range from yellow through green to light blue as cloud height increases (i.e., as cloud temperature decreases).

Intended usage

Meteorology (snowfall, sea ice and glaciers analysis).

Limitations

Cloud dependent. Does not usually work on NOAA POES satellites.
