Overview
This global Level-3 (L3) data set provides monthly mean snow cover extent within 0.05° (approx. 5 km) MODIS Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) cells. This data set is derived from snow cover observations in the 'MODIS/Terra Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG’ data set (DOI:10.5067/MODIS/MOD10C1.061).
The terms "Version 61" and "Collection 6.1" are used interchangeably in reference to this release of MODIS data.
