MODIS/Terra Snow Cover 8-Day L3 Global 500m SIN Grid V006
This data set reports the maximum snow cover extent during an eight-day period in 1200 km x 1200 km tiles. Tiles are generated by compositing 500 m observations from the MODIS/Terra Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 500m Grid (MOD10A1) data set. Bit flags are also provided that report the eight-day snow/no-snow chronology for each 500 m cell.
