Show Abstract
The Greenland Surface Type is estimated using satellite remote
sensing techniques on the MODIS insturment. This dataset contains
monthly products covering april to september for the period
2000-2014.
The data files contain 5 layers with the following content: GST,
Nobs, StDev, MaxGST, MinGST.
The monthly products were generated on a machine which uses the
little-endian data format (Intel convention). GST is coded with 2 -
Ocean, 5 - Land, 3 - Cloud, 4 - No data, 11 - Ice, 13 - Melting
snow, 14 - Dry snow.
