Raster of the snow cover #200

Closed Lerrtt closed 4 years ago

Lerrtt commented 4 years ago

Hello Lorenzo, First of all, congratulation for your MODIStsp package. I successfully installed it on PC Windows 10. I would like to use it to identify and quantify the snow cover. In MODIStsp, select the category: Radiation budget variables - snow cover; Product: Snow_Cov_Daily_500m (M * D10_A1) In Layers to process, I select: NDSI Snow Cover, but then I don't know what quality indicators should I select. In image processing, how do I get the time series of the raster of the snow cover?

Hi, 

 thanks for your interest in our package. Concerning your issue, it is a bit vague. I am not an expert in Snow Cover analysis, so I do not know which quality indicators are important in this case.

I'd suggest you to have a look at the product technical documentation to better uinderstand them (you can probably find it starting from the Web page of the product, accessible from the MODISts GUI)

Closing here for the moment, but feel free to reopen if you have more "focused" questions.
