Version Summary
Version 2 includes Mosaic of Greenland 2010 and 2015 (MOG2010 and MOG2015) data, in addition to the MOG2005 data.
Overview
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, consists of two digital Greenland image maps each for the 2005, 2010, and 2015 measurement periods: the MOG Surface Morphology Image Map and the MOG Grain Size Image Map. The image maps are constructed from MODIS imagery acquired during 2005, 2010, and 2015 and provide nearly cloud-free views of all land areas and islands larger than a few hundred meters, including the ice caps on Baffin Island, Devon Island, Axel Heiberg Island, and Ellesmere Island.
