Data Tools
This page lists featured tools and web services that can be used to access and work with various data from this collection. Additional tools and resources for working with these data may be found in the Help Articles section of this collection.
Get Data
Quickly download a few files using a web browser, or access data through a command-line utility such as WGET.
Search & Discover
Get Data
Filter files before downloading based on date, spatial area, or file name. Choose from various download options, such as Python script. Export bounding boxes as a GeoJSON.
Visualize
Get Data
Search & Discover
Search, visualize, and download data from NSIDC's long-term IceBridge archive. The portal provides flight lines, map-based granule extents, browse images (where available), Northern and Southern Hemisphere polar views, spatial and temporal filters, and keyword search options.

Search for and download NSIDC DAAC data using the earthaccess python package. This python-based Jupyter notebook also demonstrates geospatial operations to crop and resample one GeoTIFF based on the extent and pixel size of another GeoTIFF, with the end goal of plotting one on top of the other. Two data sets from the NASA MEaSUREs program are used as examples.
Supported software languages:
Python
Customization Capabilities:
spatial subsetting
resampling
