Version 2 of the CryoSat-2 Sea Ice Freeboard, Thickness, and Snow Depth Quick Look 2014 product is now available from NSIDC. This update fixes an error in the sea ice concentration land mask which was present in the previous version. To access the data, see the CryoSat-2 Sea Ice Freeboard, Thickness, and Snow Depth Quick Look summary page.

NSIDC would like to announce a change to data access for the “Near-Real-Time SSM/I-SSMIS EASE-Grid Daily Global Ice Concentration and Snow Extent, Version 4 (NISE)” data set. Data access through our primary portal will remain the same at ftp://n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org/SAN/OTHR/NISE.004. The secondary access point at ftp:/ /nise @sidads.colorado.edu has been removed. Please update any bookmarks you may have to the secondary access point to link to the primary one. We expect that this will only affect a small number of data users.
