Version Summary

Initial release

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.
