%X High altitude Asia is a high altitude region with the Qinghai Tibet Plateau as the main region. It is an important distribution area of alpine snow in middle and low latitudes. The dynamic change of snow cover has an important impact on water and energy balance and regional climate. Due to the short occurrence time and thin snow layer of the seasonal snow cover in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the dynamic monitoring data of snow cover in daily time scale is urgently needed in the understanding of water cycle and other issues. Based on the MODIS normalized snow cover index data with a spatial resolution of 500m, combined with the advantages of terrain and various snow cover estimation algorithms under cloud cover, this data set realizes the re estimation of snow cover under cloud cover, meets the production requirements of daily less cloud (
