Data Set ID:
NSIDC-0630
Data Set Summary:
The Calibrated Enhanced-Resolution Passive Microwave Daily EASE-Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature ESDR, Version 2 data set is a multi-sensor Level 3 Earth Science Data Record (ESDR) with improvements upon Version 1 in cross-sensor calibration and quality checking, modern file formats, better quality control, improved projection grids, and local time-of-day (LTOD) processing. These data are gridded to three EASE-Grid 2.0 projections (North Azimuthal, South Azimuthal, and Cylindrical) and include enhanced-resolution imagery, as well as coarse-resolution, averaged imagery. Inputs include brightness temperature data from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).
