Cloud-free snow cover area in the Pyrenees from MODIS

This dataset contains the output of a gapfilling algorithm applied to MODIS snow products for the Pyrenees mountains as presented by Gascoin et al. (2015) and updated to the period 2000-Sep-01 to 2015-08-31 (15 hydrological years)

Pirineos_gapfilled.tif:  a multiband geotiff raster file in WGS84 UTM30N (EPSG:32630) at 500 m resolution with values 200 (snow) or 25 (no snow);

Pirineos_gapfilled_dates.csv: a csv file indicating the date corresponding to each band (year, month, day)

dem_Pirineos_UTM30_px500.tif: a geotiff raster of the elevation in WGS84 UTM30N (input of the gap-filling algorithm) with the same extent and resolution as 1.

aspect_Pirineos_UTM30_px500.tif: a geotiff raster of the slope aspect in WGS84 UTM30N (input of the gap-filling algorithm) with the same extent and resolution as 1.

Pirineos_gapfilled_probamap.png: a map of the mean annual number of snow days (snow cover duration) made from 1.

Pirineos_gapfilled_scats.png: a plot of the timeseries of the daily snow cover area in km² over the Pyrenees mountain range from 2000-Sep-01 to 2015-08-31 made from 1.
