Hall NASA, GSFC, Code 614.1 Greenbelt, MD 20771 301-614-5771 Dorthy.K.Hall@nasa.gov Description: Purpose of the MYD10L2C coarse resolution, i.e. 5 km spatial resolution, snow product is to facilitate QA and compilation of daily global images of snow cover by the LDOPE in support of QA operations. Snow cover in MYD10L2C is sampled from the MYD10_L2 product snow cover. The center pixel of a 5 km by 5 km block of pixels in the MYD10_L2 is written into the MYD10L2C snow cover and snow cover QA SDSs. The latitide and longitude SDSs are the same as the latitude and longitude SDSs in MYD10_L2. ECS metadata of CoreMetadata.0, ArchiveMetadata.0 and StructMetadata.0 are included in MYD10L2C.
