Annual time-series on per-pixel proportions of snow cover
This dataset extends on the AVHRR-based, daily, per-pixel proportions of snow cover estimated in the scope of Climate Change Initiative (CCI). Here, we aggregated the daily layers on a monthly basis, reporting on maximum, annual, per-pixel percentages, and on the frequency of months with observed snow cover.
