* AutomaticQualityFlag and the ScienceQualityFlag metadata objects and their corresponding explanations: AutomaticQualityFlagExplanation and ScienceQualityFlagExplanation located in the CoreMetadata.0 global attributes
* Custom local attributes associated with each Scientific Data Set, for example, Snow Cover
* Snow Spatial QA field.
These quality indicators are generated during production or in post-production scientific and quality checks of the data product. For more information on local and global attributes, go to one of the following documents:
* MOD10C2 and MYD10C2 Local Snow Cover Attributes, Version 5
* MOD10C2 and MYD10C2 Global Snow Cover Attributes, Version 5
The AutomaticQualityFlag is automatically set according to conditions for meeting data criteria in the snow mapping algorithm. In most cases, the flag is set to either Passed or Suspect, and in rare instances it may be set to Failed. Suspect means that a significant percentage of the data were anomalous and that further analysis should be done to determine the source of anomalies. The AutomaticQualityFlagExplanation contains a brief message explaining the reason for the setting of the AutomaticQualityFlag. The ScienceQualityFlag and the ScienceQualityFlagExplanation are set after production, either after an automated QA program is run or after the data product is inspected by a qualified snow scientist. Content and explanation of this flag are dynamic so it should always be examined if present.
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center: MODIS Land Quality Assessment Web site provides updated quality information for each product.EnglishNASA NSIDC DAACNASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Centerhttps://nsidc.org/daacData Center ContactNSIDCUser Servicesnsidc@nsidc.org1-303-492-6199National Snow and Ice Data CenterCIRES, 449 UCBUniversity of ColoradoBoulderCO80309-0449USAFTP0.5 - 6.0 MBHDF-EOS2Diner, D.

This data set consists of 7200 columns by 3600 rows of global arrays of snow cover in a 0.05 degree Climate Modeling Grid (CMG). MODIS snow cover data are based on a snow mapping algorithm that employs a Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) and other criteria tests.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://doi.org/10.5067/6PMGAHFLY5EVDocumentationPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/data/modis/MODIS Data at NSIDCCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92006-12-182024-01-25NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCLevel of ServiceNo Data AccessNSIDCFull Dataset CitationHall, D.
