Mapping snow cover frequency at 30 m for studying seasonal variations and topographic controls on the Tibetan Plateau

•An innovative 30 m resolution snow cover frequency map of the Tibetan Plateau was developed using over 500,000 Landsat and Sentinel-2 images.•A specialized snow mapping algorithm was designed to improve detection in shaded and low-illumination areas.•The SCOF maps accurately characterize the spatia...
