[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: MODIS/Terra Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 500m Grid (MOD10A1) contains snow cover and quality assurance (QA) data in HDF-EOS format along with corresponding metadata. Data files after 14 September 2003 include a snow albedo array with a beta status. MOD10A1 consists of 1200 km by 1200 km tiles of 500 m resolution data gridded in a sinusoidal map projection. MODIS/Terra V004 data extend from 24 ... View entire text
