The data is specifically developed for the High Mountain Asia (HMA) with the geographic coverage between latitude 24.32 − 49.19 N and Longitude 58.22 − 122.48 E. The data is available with eight-day temporal resolution and 500 m spatial resolution covering the period between 2002 and 2018. The name of the product is derived from MODIS Terra (MOD) MODIS Aqua (MYD), and Glacier (GL), Version 6 (06) as MOYDGL06*. The product is described in Julian day and each year has 46 eight-day composite images in GeoTIFF file format as described in the associated readme.TXT. The data can be accessed alternatively from https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.901821. The R code developed for this product is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3610735. For more details about the data, please read the paper associated with this data titled lease read the paper associated with this data titled "An improved Terra/Aqua MODIS snow-cover and RGI6.0 glacier combined product (MOYDGL06*) for the High Mountain Asia between 2002 and 2018" published in Earth System Science Data Journal. The original MOD10A2* and MYD10A2* collection 6 products contain approximately 46% of underestimation and 3.66% of overestimation in comparison to this product. The availability of this improved product can be served as a valuable dataset for hydrological/glaciological modelling, cryosphere monitoring and associated changes.
