Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) is an international initiative with the goal of repeatedly surveying the world's estimated 200,000 glaciers. The project seeks to create a globally comprehensive inventory of land ice, including measurements of glacier area, geometry, surface velocity, and snow line …
The MOD10A1 V6.1 Snow Cover Daily Global 500m product contains snow cover, snow albedo, fractional snow cover, and quality assessment (QA) data. Snow cover data are based on a snow mapping algorithm that employs a Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) and other criteria tests. General …
MOD10A2 is a snow cover dataset from the MODIS on the Terra satellite. The dataset reports the maximum snow cover extent during an eight-day period at the resolution of 500 m. An eight-day compositing period was chosen because that is the exact ground track repeat …
