New data set release: VIIRS/NPP CGF Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 375m SIN Grid

The VIIRS/NPP CGF Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 375m SIN Grid, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set utilizes a cloud-gap-filled algorithm to replace cloud-covered pixels with cloud-free pixels for the purpose of estimating the snow cover that may exist under current cloud cover. The data are provided daily and mapped to a 375 m sinusoidal grid.
