The Global Seasonal-Snow Classification, 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 consists of global, seasonal snow classifications—e.g., tundra, boreal forest, maritime, ephemeral, prairie, montane forest, and ice—determined from air temperature, precipitation, and wind speed climatologies. Data are available on global, North America, and Eurasia latitude-longitude grids at four resolutions: 10 arcsec (~300 m), 30 arcsec (~1 km), 2.5 arcmin (~5 km), and 0.5° (~50 km). Each snow classification represents a climatological average for the 39 year period from 1981-2019. This data set is produced under the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program.
