Description

This data set contains daily 'cloud-free' snow cover produced from the VIIRS/NPP Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 375m SIN Grid, Version 2 snow cover product. A cloud-gap-filled algorithm is utilized to replace ‘cloud-covered’ pixels with ‘cloud-free pixels’ for the purpose of estimating the snow cover that may exist under current cloud cover. The data are provided daily and mapped to a 375 m sinusoidal grid.

Version Description

Data update as part of VIIRS/JPSS-1 Collection 2
