Daily MODIS snow cover maps for the European Alps from 2002 onwards at 250m horizontal resolution along with a nearly cloud-free version

NOTE: We discovered some errors in the data for images after February 2019. They will be fixed in version >= 1.1.x, until then, usage of the data after Feb 2019 is not advised. The rest of the data is fine. This is the data to the same-titled Data paper. The files contain: python-cloudremoval-aux-data.tar.gz : auxilary data (altitude, aspect, ...) to run the cloudremoval module which can be found at https://gitlab.inf.unibz.it/earth_observation_public/modis_snow_cloud_removal zenodo_01_original.tar.gz : time series of snow cover maps, developed at the Institute for Earth Observation, Eurac Research, Bolzano, Italy. More information in same-title Data paper, and for algorithm at https://doi.org/10.3390/rs5010110. zenodo_02_cloudremoval.tar.gz : time series of cloud filtered maps, based on 2. above, using code mentioned in 1. More information in same-titled Data paper. The maps are GeoTIFF with integer based values: 0 = no data; 1 = snow; 2 = land; 3 = cloud; 4&5 = water bodies / nodata Version history: 1.0.0 : initial upload 1.0.1 : changes after revision of Data pape
