The MODIS snow cover data set for China from 2000 to 2020 was prepared.The dataset was divided into three catalogs according to the different parameters, and the accuracy was verified by ground station data. This dataset is intended to provide basic data for the in-depth study and accurate analysis of snow cover, animal protection, climate prediction, agricultural water resource utilization, flooding, snowstorm warning and other fields.
