We obtained the global results using remote sensing reanalysis dataset. But the snow-coverd areas should be removed (like the blank area in the picture below, sources: Purdy et al., 2016). Does anyone know where we could obtain the snow data as mask? Thanks a lot!
Dear Wen Li Zhao you can use MODIS global snow cover product to achieve your goal. There are also various products which provide daily, monthly and yearly global snow cover coverage.
Gomal Amin Thanks a lot for the valuable information. I would try this dataset.
Hello Wen,
The following links might be helpful to you for fining the snow cover dataset:
https://globalcryospherewatch.org/reference/snow_inventory.php
https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod10.php
https://nsidc.org/data/modis/data_summaries
Also, you can use the GIS mask extraction option for a particular threshold value to remove those snow cover regions.
Cheers
