Abstract
AbstractThe Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover mapping algorithm provides a snow detection technique that is robust, reliable, and computationally efficient; it generates a daily global snow cover data product without significant bias in errors of commission or omission of snow cover. The products were designed for use by a wide range of users including cryospheric researchers, hydrological and climate modelers, and the general scientific community. A suite of snow products start from the swath (i.e., a 5-min segment of sensor data) at 500-m resolution, to daily global snow maps at 0.05° and 0.25° resolution, and temporal 8-day composited global snow products, and culminate with a monthly snow cover product – all developed to address user community interests (Hall et al. 2006).
