MODIS Snow Cover
Overview
These products are generated using the MODIS calibrated radiance data products (MOD02HKM and MYD02HKM), the geolocation products (MOD03 and MYD03), and the cloud mask products (MOD35_L2 and MYD35_L2) as inputs. The MODIS snow algorithm output (MOD10_L2 and MYD10_L2) contains scientific data sets (SDS) of snow cover, quality assurance (QA) SDSs, latitude and longitude SDSs, local attributes and global attributes. The snow cover algorithm identifies snow-covered land; it also identifies snow-covered ice on inland water.
