Data set updates: AMSR-E/AMSR2 Unified L3 Global Daily/5-Day/Monthly 25km EASE-Grid Snow Water Equivalent, Version 1

The AMSR-E/AMSR2 Unified L3 Global Daily/5-Day/Monthly 25km EASE-Grid Snow Water Equivalent, Version 1 data sets, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), have been updated. The data have been reprocessed to correct for the artificial, uniform boundary extending across North America for the snow water equivalent (SWE) values. The filenames for these reprocessed data contain ‘B02’ instead of ‘B01’. The 5-day, daily and monthly data sets provide maximum estimates of SWE derived from brightness temperature measurements acquired by the AMSR2 instrument on the JAXA GCOM-W1 satellite.
