CEOP Satellite Datasets ( Terra/Aqua > MODIS > L2 Snow Cover)

The CEOP satellite datasets are geo-coded data resampled to regular latitude longitude grid on three type scales: reference site scale, monsoon scale, and global scale. It is easy to compare satellite data with in-situ measurement and or model output. Also, the satellite datasets include radiance data and geo-physical parameter such as soil moisture, vegetation index, water vapor, precipitation, sea surface temperature and so on, which are retrieved from data of MODIS, AMSR-E, SSM/I, PR, TMI, AVNIR2, PALSAR and PRISM. The CEOP-MODIS datasets are generated on 35 reference sites, 5 monsoon regions and global during EOP-3 date period. ► Enhanced Observing Period　EOP-3: 01/10/2002 - 30/09/2003 EOP-4: 01/10/2003 - 31/12/2004 ► Reference Site Locations http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/ceop/dm/documents/ref_site.html ► Definition of Monsoon Regions Asia EQ-50N 60E-160E North American EQ-35N 120W-60W South American EQ-35S 80W-30W Australian EQ-25S 90E-160E North African EQ-25N 30W-40E ► Product Code MOD10_L2 for Terra/MODIS MYD10_L2 for Aqua/MODIS ► Product Name L2 Snow Cover
