Version 1.1 of Near Real-Time MODIS/Terra L3 Global Daily 500m SIN Grid Snow Cover, Grain Size, and Dust Radiative Forcing is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains the following parameters: snow fraction, snow grain size, vegetation fraction, rock fraction, ice fraction, shade fraction, deltavis, radiative forcing, and optical snow grain size. Version 1.1 data are forward processing and will be updated once a day. We are working to backfill data from 1 November 2023 through the present, so users will see missing data filled in over the next few weeks. These data are now provided in netCDF format.
