BoulderCO80309-0449USAHTTPSnetCDF-4This data set represents an updated version of the MODIS Snow Covered Area and Grain-size (MODSCAG) and MODIS Dust Radiative Forcing in Snow (MODDRF) data sets previously produced by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Data are derived from NASA LANCE near real-time MODIS/Terra surface reflectance data (<a href="https://lance.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/modis/">MOD09GA_NRT</a>) but are not themselves near real-time, nor part of NASA LANCE. This data set contains the following parameters: snow fraction, snow grain size (from the SCAG algorithm), vegetation fraction, rock fraction, ice fraction, shade fraction, deltavis, radiative forcing, and optical snow grain size (from the DRFS algorithm). Data are available from 1 November 2023 to the present for 18 regions in North America, and from 01 April 2025 to present over the South Island of New Zealand and the Andes mountains in Chile. Additional tiles will be added over time until global coverage is reached. These data are provided in netCDF format.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://doi.org/10.5067/HNVFRD5ICZN1User's GuideGET DATAhttps://daacdata.apps.nsidc.org/pub/DATASETS/MODSCGDRF_NRT_v1.1/HTTPSCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92024-04-242026-02-17NSIDCVersion SummaryInitial releaseNSIDCMinor Version1Updated to new format (netCDF) and addition of new spatial coverage2023-11-010NSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCLevel of ServiceBasicNSIDCFull Dataset CitationRittger, K., Brodzik, M.
