This AutoSnow product provides daily, gridded, snow and ice coverage maps for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The maps are produced from Level-1 observations obtained by the AVHRR, AMSU, GMI, and GMS instruments, onboard MetOp, GOES, and Meteosat satellites. The daily snow map provides a continuous (gap free) characterization of hemispheric snow and ice cover generated on a latitude-longitude grid at a 4 km resolution. The data are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and are distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) as daily gridded files in the GRIB format.
