The Aggregated River and Lake Ice Extent (ARLIE) product is a spatially aggregated information on surface water conditions of rivers and lakes. ARLIE information is stored in a geodatabase, enriched every day from the different River and Lake Ice Extent products (RLIE S1, RLIE S2, RLIE S1+S2) for the entire EEA38 and the United Kingdom. It provides percent coverage of snow-covered or snow-free ice on lakes and on 10 km river sections described by the EU-HYDRO river and lake network database. The ARLIE data is stored in a PostGIS persistent geodatabase. They can be retrieved by using a specific REST API. Users can query ice sheet summary information of river segments and lakes (ARLIE statistics) together with the geometry and caracteristics of the features on which these statistics were estimated. All geometry features are delivered in the ETRS89 LAEA (EPSG:3035) coordinate reference system. ARLIE is one of the products of the pan-European High-Resolution Snow and Ice service (HR-S&I), which are provided at high spatial resolution from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 constellations data from September 1, 2016 onwards.

The Copernicus Wet/Dry Snow (WDS) product is generated in near real-time for the entire EEA38 and the United Kingdom, based on radar satellite data from the Sentinel-1 constellation. The product differentiates the snow state conditions within the snow mask defined by the FSCTOC information (snow fraction at the top of canopy - see the Copernicus Fractional Snow Cover product) with a spatial resolution of 60 m x 60 m. In other words, it provides a binary discrimination of wet and dry snow, identifying patchy snow or snow free areas. The WDS product is distributed in raster files covering an area of 110 km by 110 km with a pixel size of 60 m by 60 m in UTM/WGS84 projection, which corresponds to the Sentinel-2 input L1C product tile. Each product is composed of two separate GeoTIFF files corresponding to the different layers of the product (the snow state classification -SSC- and the associated quality layer -QCSSC-) and a metadata file. The WDS is one of the products of the pan-European High-Resolution Snow & Ice service (HR-S&I), which are provided at high spatial resolution (20 m x 20 m and 60 m x 60 m), from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 constellations data from September 1, 2016 onwards.
