The tables on this Web page provide the data availability and missing dates for two brightness temperature data sets available from NSIDC. One data set is in the Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid (EASE-Grid) projection, and the other is in the Polar Stereographic projection. The data sets are the following:
Table 1 provides the data availability and Table 2 provides a list of missing dates.
