MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover Monthly L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V006

This data set reports monthly average snow cover in 0.05 degree (approx. 5 km) resolution Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) cells. Monthly averages are computed from daily snow cover observations in the MODIS/Aqua Snow Cover Daily L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG (MYD10C1) data set.
