Data holding transferred from the Antarctic Glaciological Data Center (AGDC) at the National Snow and Ice Data Center to the Distributed Active Archive Center at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC DAAC)
Overview
This data set includes two image maps - a snow grain size map and a surface morphology map - provided at two different resolutions of 125 m and 750 m. The maps were produced from composited image swath data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over Antarctica for the 2008-2009 austral summer season.
