description: This dataset contains Daily Snow Cover Fraction of viewable snow from ATSR-2, produced by the Snow project of the ESA Climate Change Initiative programme. Snow cover fraction viewable (SCFV) indicates the area of snow viewable from space over all land surfaces. In forested areas this refers to snow viewable on top of the forest canopy. The SCFV is given in percentage (%) per pixel.The global SCFV product is available at 0.01Â° grid size (about 1 km) for all land areas, excluding Antarctica and Greenland ice sheet. The coastal zones of Greenland are included. The SCFV time series provides daily products for the period 1995 â 2003. The SCFV product is based on Along-Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2) data aboard the ERS-2 satellite. The retrieval method of the snow_cci SCFV product from ATSR-2 data has been further developed and improved based on the ESA GlobSnow approach (MetsÃ¤mÃ¤ki et al. 2015) and complemented with a pre-classification module. In a first step, clouds are masked using an adapted version of the Simple Cloud Detection Algorithm version 2.0 (SCDA2.0) (MetsÃ¤mÃ¤ki et al. 2015), defined as SCDA2.3. All cloud-free pixels are then used for the snow extent mapping, using spectral bands centred at about 659 nm and 1.61 Âµm, and an emissive band centred at about 10.85 Âµm. The snow_cci snow cover mapping algorithm is a two-step approach: first, a strict pre-classification is applied to identify all cloud-free pixels which are clearly snow free. For all remaining pixels, the snow_cci SCFV retrieval method is applied. Improvements to the GlobSnow algorithm implemented for snow_cci version 1 include adaptation of the retrieval method for mapping in forested areas the SCFV. Permanent snow and ice, and water areas are masked based on the Land Cover CCI data set of the year 2000. Both classes were separately aggregated to the grid size of the SCFV product. Water areas are masked if more than 30% of the grid cell is classified as water, permanent snow and ice are…
