We recommend using the MEaSUREs Calibrated Enhanced-Resolution Passive Microwave Daily EASE-Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature ESDR, Version 1 data set, located at https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0630/versions/1, as an alternative.
This Level-3 Equal-Area Scalable Earth-Grid (EASE-Grid) Brightness Temperature data set, collected since 09 July 1987, is a part of the NOAA/NASA Pathfinder Program. The data set consists of gridded data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) in three equal-area projections: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and full global.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/nsidc-0032-v002-userguide.pdfDMSP SSM/I-SSMIS Pathfinder Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperatures, Version 2 User GuidePROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/daac/pathfinder/index.htmlAbout the NOAA/NASA Polar Pathfinder ProgramPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/data/pathfinders/index.htmlNOAA/NASA Polar Pathfinder DataVIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://nsidc.org/data/ease/EASE-Grid DataUSA/NASACEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.91994-01-012026-05-05NSIDCVersion SummaryFirst public releaseNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:3408NSIDC EASE-Grid NorthEPSG:3409NSIDC EASE-Grid SouthEPSG:3410NSIDC EASE-Grid GlobalNSIDCLevel of ServiceNo Data AccessNSIDCFull Dataset CitationArmstrong, R., Knowles, K., Brodzik, M.
