MODIS SNOW map over the ALPS

Description

The collection contains binary snow cover maps covering the entire Alpine Arc. The maps have a daily frequency and a ground resolution of 250 m. They are derived from daily MODIS observations (Aqua and Terra) for the entire Alps arc. The input data are the atmospherically-corrected reflectances of MODIS MOD09GQ, MOD09GA for tile h19v04 and h18v04. The map has two bands - SNOW MAP: Snow cover classification map with four classes [0 = NO DATA - missing or corrupt data of one or more input bands; 1 = SNOW - pixel covered by snow; 2 = NO_SNOW - pixel not covered by snow; 3 = CLOUD - pixel covered by clouds; 4 = OCEAN WATER - pixel over sea and ocean; 5 = INLAND WATER - pixel over lakes and rivers], QUALITY FLAG: Snow cover quality map [NO DATA - missing or corrupt data of one or more input bands; QUALITY_INDEX - higher values indicate higher likeliness of correct classification].
