Overview
VJ210D1F is a daily global view of snow cover at 375 m resolution. This daily global product is produced by reprojecting the all the VJ110A1 product tiles for a day to a global geographic projection. Only the NDSI_Snow_Cover data layer from the VJ110A1 product is input to produce this global product.

General Questions & FAQs
This article covers frequently asked questions about the NASA NSIDC DAAC's Earthdata cloud migration project and what it means to data users.
Data products from VIIRS are created to be similar to MODIS data products to ensure the continuity needed for the development of snow and sea ice climate records beyond the life expectancy of MODIS. The temporal resolution and spatial extent are identical in MODIS and VIIRS.
