description: The MODIS Aqua MYD10A2 Version 6.1 product provides a global Level-3 dataset representing the maximum snow cover extent (SNE) observed over an eight-day period. The data are distributed in 10Â° Ã 10Â° tiles projected to a 500 m MODIS sinusoidal grid. Each tile is generated by compositing 500 m observations from the MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 500 m Grid dataset (MYD10A1). A bit-flag index is used to record the eight-day snow and no-snow chronology for each 500 m pixel, allowing users to track the temporal pattern of snow cover within the compositing period. The terms Version 61 and Collection 6.1 are used interchangeably to refer to this MODIS data release.
