MODIS Aqua Snow Cover Daily Global 500m 2005

The MODIS Aqua MYD10A1 Version 6.1 product provides a global Level-3 daily composite of snow cover and albedo derived from the MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover 5-Min L2 Swath 500 m dataset. The data are generated as daily composites and distributed in 10° × 10° tiles projected to a 500 m sinusoidal grid. Each tile contains information on snow cover extent and surface albedo derived from MODIS Aqua observations, enabling consistent global monitoring of snow conditions. The terms Version 61 and Collection 6.1 are used interchangeably to refer to this release of MODIS data.
