    • MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover 8-Day L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V061

    Metadata Updated: February 3, 2025

    This global Level-3 (L3) data set provides the maximum percentage of snow-covered land and persistent cloud-covered land observed over eight-days, within 0.05° (approx. 5 km) MODIS Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) cells. Percentages are computed from snow cover observations in the 'MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover 8-Day L3 Global 500m SIN Grid' data set (DOI:10.5067/MODIS/MYD10A2.061).

    The terms "Version 61" and "Collection 6.1" are used interchangeably in reference to this release of MODIS data.
