Summary

edit
Description
English: Spain is experiencing an intense cold wave. According to the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), 14 autonomous communities are on alert due to the snowfalls that occurred in the first weekend of 2021. Numerous interventions were necessary to clear roads obstructed by the snow. About 350 people had to be evacuated after being trapped in the port of Navacerrada. One person died in Asturias and the Military Emergency Unit (UME) was mobilised to deal with the situation. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 3 January 2021, shows the “Calares del Mundo and La Sima Natural Park” and the “Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas Natural Park” covered with snow. Snow cover is an important driver of many ecological, climatic and hydrological processes in mountain regions and high latitude areas. Data captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites are particularly suitable for monitoring and mapping snow cover.
